The following code illustrates how to access SecondDropBar and set Gap for Line chart.
using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
{
//Create worksheet
IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2013;
IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Create(1);
IWorksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
//Add data
sheet.Range["A1"].Text = "Jan";
sheet.Range["B1"].Text = "Feb";
sheet.Range["C1"].Text = "Mar";
sheet.Range["A2"].Value = "10";
sheet.Range["B2"].Value = "20";
sheet.Range["C2"].Value = "30";
sheet.Range["A3"].Value = "15";
sheet.Range["B3"].Value = "25";
sheet.Range["C3"].Value = "35";
//Create chart
IChart chart = sheet.Charts.Add();
//Set range
chart.DataRange = sheet.Range["A1:C3"];
//Set chart type
chart.ChartType = ExcelChartType.Line;
//Set chart first drop bar
IChartDropBar dropBar = chart.Series[0].SerieFormat.CommonSerieOptions.FirstDropBar;
//Set gap
dropBar.Gap = 20;
//Set chart second drop bar
dropBar = chart.Series[0].SerieFormat.CommonSerieOptions.SecondDropBar;
//Set gap
dropBar.Gap = 20;
//Save and Dispose
workbook.SaveAs("Chart.xlsx");
workbook.Close();
}ShowNegativeBubbles
True to show negative bubbles on bubble chart. otherwise False.
Declaration
bool ShowNegativeBubbles { get; set; }Property Value
| Type |
|---|
| System.Boolean |
Examples
By default ShowNegativeBubbles is set to "false" so negative values will not be plotted in Bubble charts. Here for example, we load negative values to Bubble chart value axis and set ShowNegativeBubbles to "true".
using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
{
//Create worksheet
IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2013;
IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Create(1);
IWorksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
//Add data
sheet.Range["A1"].Value = "50";
sheet.Range["B1"].Value = "60";
sheet.Range["C1"].Value = "5";
sheet.Range["D1"].Value = "20";
sheet.Range["A2"].Value = "1";
sheet.Range["B2"].Value = "4";
sheet.Range["C2"].Value = "2";
sheet.Range["D2"].Value = "-2";
//Create chart
IChart chart = sheet.Charts.Add();
//Set range
chart.DataRange = sheet.Range["A1:D2"];
//Set chart type
chart.ChartType = ExcelChartType.Bubble_3D;
//Set chart format
IChartFormat format = chart.Series[0].SerieFormat.CommonSerieOptions;
//Set negative bubble visibility
format.ShowNegativeBubbles = true;
//Save and Dispose
workbook.SaveAs("Chart.xlsx");
workbook.Close();
}SizeRepresents
Gets or sets a value indicating what the bubble size represents on a Bubble chart.
Declaration
ExcelBubbleSize SizeRepresents { get; set; }Property Value
| Type |
|---|
| ExcelBubbleSize |
Examples
The SizeRepresents property can be set to either Area or Width. By default it is set to Area. Here for example, we set Width to SizeRepresents property.
using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
{
//Create worksheet
IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2013;
IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Create(1);
IWorksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
//Add data
sheet.Range["A1"].Value = "50";
sheet.Range["B1"].Value = "60";
sheet.Range["C1"].Value = "5";
sheet.Range["A2"].Value = "1";
sheet.Range["B2"].Value = "4";
sheet.Range["C2"].Value = "2";
//Create chart
IChart chart = sheet.Charts.Add();
//Set range
chart.DataRange = sheet.Range["A1:C2"];
//Set chart type
chart.ChartType = ExcelChartType.Bubble_3D;
//Set chart format
IChartFormat format = chart.Series[0].SerieFormat.CommonSerieOptions;
//Set bubble scale and size represents
format.BubbleScale = 50;
format.SizeRepresents = ExcelBubbleSize.Width;
//Save and Dispose
workbook.SaveAs("Chart.xlsx");
workbook.Close();
}SplitType
Declaration
ExcelSplitType SplitType { get; set; }Property Value
| Type |
|---|
| ExcelSplitType |
Examples
By default SplitType is set to Position. Here for example, we set Value to SplitType.
using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
{
//Create worksheet
IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2013;
IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Create(1);
IWorksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
//Add data
sheet.Range["A1"].Text = "Jan";
sheet.Range["B1"].Text = "Feb";
sheet.Range["C1"].Text = "Mar";
sheet.Range["D1"].Text = "Apr";
sheet.Range["E1"].Text = "May";
sheet.Range["F1"].Text = "Jun";
sheet.Range["A2"].Value = "10";
sheet.Range["B2"].Value = "20";
sheet.Range["D2"].Value = "20";
sheet.Range["E2"].Value = "25";
sheet.Range["F2"].Value = "15";
//Create chart
IChart chart = sheet.Charts.Add();
//Set range
chart.DataRange = sheet.Range["A1:F2"];
//Set chart type
chart.ChartType = ExcelChartType.PieOfPie;
//Set chart format
IChartFormat format = chart.Series[0].SerieFormat.CommonSerieOptions;
//Set split type
format.SplitType = ExcelSplitType.Value;
//Save and Dispose
workbook.SaveAs("Chart.xlsx");
workbook.Close();
}SplitValue
Gets or sets the threshold value separating the two sections of either a PieOfPie chart or a Pie_Bar chart.
Declaration
int SplitValue { get; set; }Property Value
| Type |
|---|
| System.Int32 |
Examples
The following code illustrates how to set SplitValue for charts.
using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
{
//Create worksheet
IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2013;
IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Create(1);
IWorksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
//Add data
sheet.Range["A1"].Text = "Jan";
sheet.Range["B1"].Text = "Feb";

sheet.Range["F2"].Value = "15";
//Create chart
IChart chart = sheet.Charts.Add();
//Set range
chart.DataRange = sheet.Range["A1:F2"];
//Set chart type
chart.ChartType = ExcelChartType.PieOfPie;

IChartFormat format = chart.Series[0].SerieFormat.CommonSerieOptions;
//Set split type
format.SplitType = ExcelSplitType.Value;
//Set split value
format.SplitValue = 20;
//Save and Dispose
workbook.SaveAs("Chart.xlsx");
