    /**
     * @class Ext.chart.Mask
     *
     * Defines a mask for a chart's series.
     * The 'chart' member must be set prior to rendering.
     *
     * A Mask can be used to select a certain region in a chart.
     * When enabled, the `select` event will be triggered when a
     * region is selected by the mask, allowing the user to perform
     * other tasks like zooming on that region, etc.
     *
     * In order to use the mask one has to set the Chart `mask` option to
     * `true`, `vertical` or `horizontal`. Then a possible configuration for the
     * listener could be:
     *
            items: {
                xtype: 'chart',
                animate: true,
                store: store1,
                mask: 'horizontal',
                listeners: {
                    select: {
                        fn: function(me, selection) {
                            me.setZoom(selection);
                            me.mask.hide();
                        }
                    }
                },

     * In this example we zoom the chart to that particular region. You can also get
     * a handle to a mask instance from the chart object. The `chart.mask` element is a
     * `Ext.Panel`.
