</h1>
  <div class="markdown level0 summary"><p>Defines the model of a chart control: its visual building blocks (titles, series, areas, legends),
global appearance and behavior settings, and the operations used to persist, refresh and repair the chart.
Implement this interface to provide an alternative host for the charting engine, or consume it to drive a
chart without depending on a concrete control type.</p>
