Hi All,
Little question.
I am discovering Aspose and I try to use the function changeTemplate
So I have a pie chart.
In excel I select a custom template. (Another Pie chart with a different style).
I am doing this with a right click on the chart and “Change Chart Type” and I go to “Templates”
The new template selected is applied without any issues.
In Aspose, I get the existing chart from Excel with its chartIndex.
And I apply just the same template than previously in Excel with this line of code:
chart.ChangeTemplate(chartTemplateData);
the chart is blank.
In debug I can see that the categoriesData in chart.NSeries are set to null (after the call to the ChangeTemplate function)
Same thing the chart.NSeries.InnerList seems to be modified.
So I have a blank chart as output due to the fact the series and categoriesData are lost.
Do you know why ?
Do I have to fill again the series when I apply a chart Template ?
The ChangeTemplate method of Chart requires data (in byte array) of the chart template file (in .crtx file format – a CRTX file contains a chart template that can be applied, it stores settings for colors, axes, gridlines, categories, legends, text, title, and other chart options).
How do you specify chart template data using the method? Could you please share sample (runnable) code and sample files to evaluate your issue on our end. We will check it soon.
Blockquote
var pathWorkbook = “C:\Users\hormancey\Downloads\ChartToModify.xlsx”;
var pathTemplate = “C:\Users\hormancey\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Charts\TestAsposeTemplate.crtx”;
var wbtest = new Workbook(pathWorkbook);
Worksheet sheettest = wbtest.Worksheets[0];
Chart charttest = sheettest.Charts[0];
// Convert the string to byte[]
byte[] chartTemplateData = File.ReadAllBytes(pathTemplate);
charttest.ChangeTemplate(chartTemplateData);
wbtest.Save(pathWorkbook);
Please find attached the chartToModify.xslx and the TestAsposeTemplate.crtx. TestAsposeTemplate.zip (14.2 KB)
As you can see if you run the code. The workbook is blank at the end tthe categoriesData in chart.NSeries are set to null. Series[0] seems modified too.

Through testing with sample files and code, we can reproduce the issue. Template replacement failed after calling the Chart.ChangeTemplate method.
