Default Chart Object VB Code

You'd have to write some code to capture all of the settings. You can store
a chart as a user defined type, but even that doesn't store everything. User
defined chart types:

Chart objects? That's what you create when you embed a chart into another
sheet. Some days I make hundreds of them.

If you mean chart types, look at step one of the chart wizard next time you
create a chart. The standard tab shows all of the usual types, the Custom
tab shows some combinations that were designed years ago by someone who
didn't make too many charts. But you can design your own custom types
without much problem, and the combinations are limited only by your
imagination:

Is there any open source code available that stores every possible
setting for a chart. E.g. if you had a chart as a template and wanted to
store the settings and then wanted to use these settings to apply to
another chart.

Thanks in advance.
