The Y plot area contains series that have values in one dimension.

When visualized in two dimensions, a Y plot area takes the form of a rectangle with the _x_\-axis representing categories and the _y_\-axis representing values.

When visualized in three dimensions, a Y plot area takes the form of a cube with the _x_\-axis representing categories, the _y_\-axis representing values, and the _z_\-axis (depth) representing series.

A Y plot area can be oriented vertically or horizontally. When oriented vertically, the _x_\-axis is horizontal and the _y_\-axis is vertical. When oriented horizontally, the _x_\-axis is vertical and the _y_\-axis is horizontal. The following image shows a bar chart:
