Unable to add a Chart Placeholder to Slide Layout Using Aspose.Slides for .NET

Hi, i need to be able to set the Autoshape placeholder as Chart but it seems no option to do that. In some ticket you mentioned this approach, to create a new layout with a placeholder:

presentation2.Masters[0].LayoutSlides.Add(SlideLayoutType.Chart, "Chart"); but it throws the exception " Layout type Chart is not supported now". Also, you mentioned that the default presentation already has all placeholders, but that’s not true, if you try to create a new presentation, there are no shapes with placeholders with the type “chart”.

I can create a presentation in PowerPoint with slides and shapes, and then Aspose will recognize shapes with placeholders as Charts. But impossible to create a NEW presentation via the Aspose library, add an autoshape, and set a placeholder “chart”. Please correct me if I’m wrong

So, should we just to wait until you implement it, or it’s impossible at all?
