<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id5977965" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">An XY chart in its basic form is based on one data series consisting of a name, a list of x‑values, and a list of y‑values. Each value pair (x|y) is shown as a point in a coordinate system. The name of the data series is associated with the y‑values and shown in the legend.</paragraph>
