    Example

    The code below would display the following Chart:

     

    var workbook = Workbook.Create( ChartSample.ChartSampleOutputDirectory + @"AddCharts.xlsx" );
    
    // Gets the first Worksheet. A Workbook always contains at least 1 Worksheet.
    var worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[ 0 ];
    
    // Adds Values for Category.
    worksheet.Cells[ "B4" ].Value = 2020;
    worksheet.Cells[ "B5" ].Value = 2021;
    worksheet.Cells[ "B6" ].Value = 2022;
    worksheet.Cells[ "B7" ].Value = 2023;
    worksheet.Cells[ "B8" ].Value = 2024;
    
    // Adds Values for Series.
    worksheet.Cells[ "C4" ].Value = 20d;
    worksheet.Cells[ "C5" ].Value = 28d;
    worksheet.Cells[ "C6" ].Value = 33d;
    worksheet.Cells[ "C7" ].Value = 12d;
    worksheet.Cells[ "C8" ].Value = 45d;
    
    // Adds a BubbleChart with the generic Add method and set its SubType. The size of the Chart will be from Cell E4 to L18.
    var columnChart = worksheet.Charts.Add<ColumnChart>( "E4", "L18" );
    columnChart.SubType = ColumnChartSubType.Stacked;
    
    // Sets the Chart's Title.
    columnChart.Title.Text = "Profits";
    columnChart.Title.TextOptions.Font.Bold = true;
    
    // Sets the Legend.
    columnChart.Legend.Position = LegendPositionType.Right;
    
    // Sets the Category data(x values) for the ColumnChart : Cells B4 to B8.
    columnChart.CategoryData = CategoryData.FromCells( worksheet, "B4", "B8" );
    
    // Sets the space between the Columns to 50%.
    columnChart.GapWidth = 50;
    
    // Adds ColumnSeries to the ColumnChart (y values) by specifying fixed values and a range of Cells’ Adresses.
    var columnSeries1 = columnChart.SeriesCollection.AddFromValues<ColumnSeries>( 5d, 10d, 15d, 20d, 40d );
    columnSeries1.Name = "IBM";
    var columnSeries2 = columnChart.SeriesCollection.AddFromCells<ColumnSeries>( "C4", "C8" );
    columnSeries2.Name = "Apple";
    
    // Shows the DataPoint Labels for the ColumnSeries and positions them.
    columnSeries1.DataPointLabels.ShowValue = true;
    columnSeries1.DataPointLabels.Position = SurfaceDataPointLabelsPositionType.InsideEnd;
    columnSeries1.DataPointLabels.TextOptions.TextFill.Color = Xceed.Drawing.Color.White;
    columnSeries2.DataPointLabels.ShowValue = true;
    columnSeries2.DataPointLabels.Position = SurfaceDataPointLabelsPositionType.InsideBase;
    columnSeries2.DataPointLabels.TextOptions.TextFill.Color = Xceed.Drawing.Color.White;
    
    // Saves Workbook to disk.
    workbook.Save();
