The elements of a chart that are selected: its title, an axis, a series, a point of one, a
legend entry… (see IChart.IElement), as Excel selects them with a click inside a chart.
Remarks
A sheet's view holds one beside its movable selection
(IWorksheetView.getChartElementSelection). Its elements are always of the one chart whose
movable is the active selected movable: selecting an element of another chart selects that
chart's movable first, alone, and the selection empties when the movable selection moves on.
A chart outside a workbook (createChart) takes a selection of its own, made with its chart.
Every selected element has the same container; the chart
area is the root and is never selected here: with nothing selected, the chart itself is what
the movable selection holds.
Which element a press selects is the editor's: Excel selects a series on the first press and
its point on the next (IChart.getElementAt answers the point).
