The CT Get chart type command returns the type of the chart specified by area and object.
The following table lists the codes for the chart types:
| Code | Chart Type |
| 1 | Area |
| 2 | Column |
| 3 | Picture |
| 4 | Line |
| 5 | Scatter |
| 6 | Pie |
| 7 | Polar |
| 8 | 2D XY |
| 100 | 3D Column |
| 101 | 3D Line |
| 102 | 3D Area |
| 103 | 3D Surface |
| 104 | 3D Triangle |
| 105 | 3D Spike |
In this example, CT Get chart type is used to get the chart type of the chart specified by $ChartID. If it is not a column chart, CT SET CHART TYPE changes it to a column chart.
