Examples

Shows how to insert a chart and modify the appearance of its axes.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Shape shape = builder.InsertChart(ChartType.Column, 500, 300);
Chart chart = shape.Chart;

// Clear the chart's demo data series to start with a clean chart.
chart.Series.Clear();

// Insert a chart series with categories for the X-axis and respective numeric values for the Y-axis.
chart.Series.Add("Aspose Test Series",
    new[] { "Word", "PDF", "Excel", "GoogleDocs", "Note" },
    new double[] { 640, 320, 280, 120, 150 });

// Chart axes have various options that can change their appearance,
// such as their direction, major/minor unit ticks, and tick marks.
