Parameters
- id: the object's ID, used by UISets. Required
- position: the object's position. Use the pixels or rows and columns coordinates format
- size: the chart's area's width and height
- attributes: list of UI attribute ids and values defining the chart's aspect and data. Setting this parameter is the same as setting each UI attribute with a UISet
