Setting chart style doesn't work

Hi,


We are trying to set chart style using Style property, but it doesn’t seem to work at all. It looks like the row chart.Style := 5; does nothing to resulting file.

The code looks as foolows:

Workbook workbook1 = new Workbook(FileFormatType.Xlsx);
Worksheet sheet = workbook1.Worksheets[0];

Cells cells = sheet.Cells;
cells[1, 0].PutValue(“Company A”);
cells[2, 0].PutValue(“Company B”);
cells[3, 0].PutValue(“Company C”);
cells[0, 1].PutValue(2008);
cells[0, 2].PutValue(2009);
cells[0, 3].PutValue(2010);
cells[1, 1].PutValue(10000);
cells[2, 1].PutValue(20000);
cells[3, 1].PutValue(30000);
cells[1, 2].PutValue(15000);
cells[2, 2].PutValue(25000);
cells[3, 2].PutValue(35000);
cells[1, 3].PutValue(18000);
cells[2, 3].PutValue(28000);
cells[3, 3].PutValue(38000);

int chartIndex = sheet.Charts.Add(ChartType.BarStacked, 9, 9, 21, 15);


Chart chart = sheet.Charts[chartIndex];
chart.NSeries.Add("$B$2:$D$4", false);
chart.NSeries.CategoryData = “$B$1:$D$1”;


chart.Title.Text = “Sale”;
chart.Style = 5;
chart.ToImage(“d:\outbarstacked1.bmp”);
workbook1.Save(“d:\outbarstacked2.xlsx”);

Could someone take a look and feedback why it doesn’t work?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,


Thanks for your posting and using Aspose.Cells.

It seems, this feature is not supported for 3D Pie charts. But for other charts like Column, it works fine.

We have logged this issue in our database for investigation and for a fix. Once, there is some news for you relating to it, we will let you know asap.

Hi,


Thanks for using Aspose.Cells.

Please try the following code and it should fix your issue. Let us know your feedback.

C#
chart.Legend.Position = LegendPositionType.Bottom;
chart.Elevation = 30;

Hi,


The code above changes the legend position and chart elevation.

What we need is fully apply chart style, which affects not only legend position and elevation, but also pie colors (it adds gradients and better visual representation). Please see the image attached for more details.
