    // Adds an AreaChart with the generic Add method and set its SubType. The size of the Chart will be from Cells E4 to L18.
    var areaChart = worksheet.Charts.Add<AreaChart>( "E4", "L18" );

    // Sets the Category data(x values) for the AreaChart: Cells B4 to B8.
    areaChart.CategoryData = CategoryData.FromCells( worksheet, "B4", "B8" );
    
    // Adds AreaSeries to the AreaChart (y values) by specifying fixed values, a range of Adresses and a range of Rows & Columns ids.
    var areaSeries1 = areaChart.SeriesCollection.AddFromValues<AreaSeries>( 5, 10, 15, 20, 40 );
    areaSeries1.Name = "IBM";

    // Saves Workbook to disk.
    workbook.Save();
