title: How can I get the size of the Plot Area in a Microsoft Chart Control
body: <p>I am using the MS Chart Control in a Windows application.</p>
  
  <p>I am charting various series dynamically and the user can specify which charttype each series should be. This leads to situations where pie charts are combined with line/spline charts etc..</p>
  
  <p>When at least one series is specified to be a pie chart, I am dynamically adding chartareas and legends to give each of these series their own chartarea, while all the "basic" charttypes (line(area)/spline(area)/etc.) are combined into a single chartarea.</p>
  
  <p>The issue is that when adding 10+ series where the majority are pie charts, the charts are resized so small, they become useless. My thought was to dynamically increase the size of the chart control (thereby increasing the size of all chartareas within). My issue is, the width and height of the InnerPlotPosition are always zero unless I set them explicitly.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to determine the size of the Plotting Area in pixels or percentage (which I could multiply by the chart controls size to get pixels), etc. even if not explicitly set? This would allow me to increase the chart controls size until some minimum ( and hopefully, readable) value was reached.</p>
