Chart shadow and glow effect not showing in the image

Hi,

The shadow and glow affect for chart series not showing when convert a chart to image. I upload the .xlsx output and chart image output. you can see the shadow and glow effect missing in the image.

'shadow

chart.NSeries(0).Border.IsVisible = True
chart.NSeries(0).Border.Color = System.Drawing.Color.White
'chart.NSeries(0).Border.Weight = Drawing.WeightType.SingleLine
'chart.NSeries(0).Border.Transparency = 0.5

chart.NSeries(0).Shadow = True
Dim shpt As Aspose.Cells.Drawing.ShapePropertyCollection = chart.NSeries(0).ShapeProperties

Dim shadowEffect As Aspose.Cells.Drawing.ShadowEffect = shpt.ShadowEffect
Dim cellcolor As CellsColor = book.CreateCellsColor()
cellcolor.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow

shadowEffect.PresetType = PresetShadowType.OffsetBottom
shadowEffect.Color = cellcolor
shadowEffect.Transparency = 0.6
shadowEffect.Size = 1
shadowEffect.Blur = 26
shadowEffect.Angle = 90
shadowEffect.Distance = 5

'glow
Dim glowEffect As Aspose.Cells.Drawing.GlowEffect = shpt.GlowEffect
cellcolor = book.CreateCellsColor()
cellcolor.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow

glowEffect.CellsColor = cellcolor
glowEffect.Transparency = 0.6
glowEffect.Radius = 18
