# XY Plot Types

Learn about the XY plot area and the different types of XY plots supported in Spread for ASP.NET, such as bubble charts, line charts, point charts, and stripe charts.

## Content



The XY plot area contains series that have values in two dimensions. When visualized in two dimensions, an XY plot area takes the form of a rectangle with a horizontal x-axis representing values and a vertical y-axis representing values. When visualized in three dimensions, the XY plot area takes the form of a cube with a horizontal x-axis representing values, a vertical y-axis representing values, and a depth z-axis representing series.

When a plot area has multiple x-axes or multiple y-axes, a series can be assigned to a specific axis using the axis's ID.
