# Create an XYChart object 600 x 270 pixels in size, with light grey (f4f4f4) background, black

# Add a legend box at the top of the plot area with 9pt Arial Bold font. We set the legend box to

# distributes the 3 legend icons evenly on top of the plot area.

# between minor ticks. This shows more minor grid lines on the chart.

# set name, so you can see them updated in the legend box.
