Cells netcore - Chart Data labels shapes (callouts) not rendered correctly in HTML (SVG)

Aspose.Cells Product Family

Issue - Aspose Cells - Shapes and overlays are not positioned correctly on a chart exported to HTML.

Steps to reproduce

  • On an Excel chart, click one point of a series.
  • Add a data label (data callout) to the point, choosing the oval
  • Format the data label position to ‘center’.

Result
When rendering the worksheet as HTML (chart as SVG in options), the chart is printed well but the oval is way off.
Same result with other shapes - their positions do not render correctly .

Temporary workaround:
When using just the label text with a large letter “O” (instead of a shape annotation),
it is pretty close what I would expect using the oval.

Happy to send an example worksheet displaying this problem.

BTW, if I use Excel to convert the chart to a PDF and Aspose to create an SVG from that PDF, it looks right.

Hi,
please see sheet 53_DL_Callouts and try aspose create HTML.

All circles are meant to have its middle in the point they are referring to on the chart.

But mainly, there is an issue with alignment of Shapes on the chart.

Please ask for any help related to this - happy to help.

Best regards

Hi,
please focus on sheet 53_DL_Callouts and try aspose create HTML.

All circles are meant to have its middle in the point they are referring to on the chart.

Generally, there is an issue with alignment of Shapes on the chart. Bigger charts and bigger shapes on one place tent result in misplacement.

Please ask for any help related to this - happy to help.

Best regards

Hi Ahsan,
You can see the same bad result when you put that excel file to your sites:

https://products.aspose.app/cells/conversion/xlsx-to-svg

You will see it by your own eye that those circles are not centered.

Please see attached file with excel.

ExportPrintAreaOnly = false, //was true
ExportActiveWorksheetOnly = true,
CellCssPrefix = CellCssPrefix,
//ExportWorksheetCSSSeparately = true,
ExportWorksheetCSSSeparately = false,
ExcludeUnusedStyles = true,
ExportDocumentProperties = false,
ExportWorkbookProperties = false,
HtmlCrossStringType = HtmlCrossType.Default,
ExportSimilarBorderStyle = true,

// Set the property for scalable width
WidthScalable = true,

// ExportArea = CellArea.CreateCellArea(“A1”, “ZZ500”),
//ExportArea = CellArea.CreateCellArea(“B1”, “J40”),
};

htmlSaveOptions.ImageOptions.SaveFormat = SaveFormat.SVG;
// htmlSaveOptions.ImageOptions.SaveFormat = SaveFormat.TIFF;
