A 100% stacked bar chart is a chart type designed to show the relative percentage of multiple data series in stacked bars, where the total of each stacked bar always equals 100%. This article will demonstrate how to use Spire.Presentation to create 100% stacked bar in PowerPoint in C#.
Step 1: Create a Presentation object.
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
Step 2: Add a "Bar100PercentStacked" chart to the first slide.
presentation.SlideSize.Type = SlideSizeType.Screen16x9; SizeF slidesize = presentation.SlideSize.Size; var slide = presentation.Slides[0]; RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(20, 20, slidesize.Width - 40, slidesize.Height - 40); IChart chart = slide.Shapes.AppendChart(Spire.Presentation.Charts.ChartType.Bar100PercentStacked, rect);
Step 3: Write data to the chart data.
string[] columnlabels = { "Series 1", "Series 2", "Series 3" };
// Insert the column labels
String[] cols = columnlabels.ToArray();
for (Int32 c = 0; c < cols.Count(); ++c)
chart.ChartData[0, c + 1].Text = cols[c];
string[] rowlabels = { "Category 1", "Category 2", "Category 3" };
// Insert the row labels
String[] rows = rowlabels.ToArray();
for (Int32 r = 0; r < rows.Count(); ++r)
chart.ChartData[r + 1, 0].Text = rows[r];
double[,] values = new double[3, 3] { { 20.83233, 10.34323, -10.354667 }, { 10.23456, -12.23456, 23.34456 }, { 12.34345, -23.34343, -13.23232 }};
// Insert the values
double value = 0.0;
for (Int32 r = 0; r < rows.Count(); ++r)
{
for (Int32 c = 0; c < cols.Count(); ++c)
{
value = Math.Round(values[r, c], 2);
chart.ChartData[r + 1, c + 1].Value = value;
}
}
chart.Series.SeriesLabel = chart.ChartData[0, 1, 0, columnlabels.Count()];
chart.Categories.CategoryLabels = chart.ChartData[1, 0, rowlabels.Count(), 0];
chart.PrimaryCategoryAxis.Position = AxisPositionType.Left;
chart.SecondaryCategoryAxis.Position = AxisPositionType.Left;
chart.PrimaryCategoryAxis.TickLabelPosition = TickLabelPositionType.TickLabelPositionLow;
Step 4: Set the data, font and format for the series of each column.
for (Int32 c = 0; c < cols.Count(); ++c)
{
chart.Series[c].Values = chart.ChartData[1, c + 1, rowlabels.Count(), c + 1];
chart.Series[c].Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.Solid;
chart.Series[c].InvertIfNegative = false;
for (Int32 r = 0; r < rows.Count(); ++r)
{
var label = chart.Series[c].DataLabels.Add();
label.LabelValueVisible = true;
chart.Series[c].DataLabels[r].HasDataSource = false;
chart.Series[c].DataLabels[r].NumberFormat = "0#\\%";
chart.Series[c].DataLabels.TextProperties.Paragraphs[0].DefaultCharacterProperties.FontHeight = 12;
}
}
chart.Series[0].Fill.SolidColor.Color = Color.YellowGreen;
chart.Series[1].Fill.SolidColor.Color = Color.Red;
chart.Series[2].Fill.SolidColor.Color = Color.Green;
TextFont font = new TextFont("Tw Cen MT");
Step 5: Set the font and size for chartlegend.
for (int k = 0; k < chart.ChartLegend.EntryTextProperties.Length; k++)
{
chart.ChartLegend.EntryTextProperties[k].LatinFont = font;
chart.ChartLegend.EntryTextProperties[k].FontHeight = 20;
}
Step 6: Save the document to file.
presentation.SaveToFile("Sample.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);

Delete Legend and Specific Legend Entries from Excel Chart in C#
2018-03-12 07:55:52 Written by KoohjiA legend is displayed in the chart area by default. However it can be removed from the chart. With Spire.XLS, we can delete the whole legend as well as specific legend entries from Excel chart. This article is going to demonstrate how we can use Spire.XLS to accomplish this function.
Below screenshot shows the Excel chart we used for demonstration:

Delete the whole legend
using Spire.Xls;
namespace DeleteLegend
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Workbook instance
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
//Load the Excel file
workbook.LoadFromFile("sample.xlsx");
//Get the first worksheet
Worksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
//Get the chart
Chart chart = sheet.Charts[0];
//Delete legend from the chart
chart.Legend.Delete();
//Save the file
workbook.SaveToFile("DeleteLegend.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2013);
}
}
}
Screenshot:

Delete specific legend entries
using Spire.Xls;

Multi-level category chart is a chart type that has both main category and subcategory labels. This type of chart is useful when you have figures for items that belong to different categories. In this article, you will learn how to create a multi-level category chart in Excel using Spire.XLS with C# and VB.NET.
Step 1: Create a Workbook instance and get the first worksheet.
Workbook wb = new Workbook(); Worksheet sheet = wb.Worksheets[0];
Step 2: Write data to cells.
sheet.Range["A1"].Text = "Main Category"; sheet.Range["A2"].Text = "Fruit"; sheet.Range["A6"].Text = "Vegies"; sheet.Range["B1"].Text = "Sub Category"; sheet.Range["B2"].Text = "Bananas"; sheet.Range["B3"].Text = "Oranges"; sheet.Range["B4"].Text = "Pears"; sheet.Range["B5"].Text = "Grapes"; sheet.Range["B6"].Text = "Carrots"; sheet.Range["B7"].Text = "Potatoes"; sheet.Range["B8"].Text = "Celery"; sheet.Range["B9"].Text = "Onions"; sheet.Range["C1"].Text = "Value"; sheet.Range["C2"].Value = "52"; sheet.Range["C3"].Value = "65"; sheet.Range["C4"].Value = "50"; sheet.Range["C5"].Value = "45"; sheet.Range["C6"].Value = "64"; sheet.Range["C7"].Value = "62"; sheet.Range["C8"].Value = "89"; sheet.Range["C9"].Value = "57";
Step 3: Vertically merge cells from A2 to A5, A6 to A9.
sheet.Range["A2:A5"].Merge(); sheet.Range["A6:A9"].Merge();
Step 4: Add a clustered bar chart to worksheet.
Chart chart = sheet.Charts.Add(ExcelChartType.BarClustered); chart.ChartTitle = "Value"; chart.PlotArea.Fill.FillType = ShapeFillType.NoFill; chart.Legend.Delete();
Step 5: Set the data source of series data.
chart.DataRange = sheet.Range["C2:C9"]; chart.SeriesDataFromRange = false;
Step 6: Set the data source of category labels.
ChartSerie serie = chart.Series[0]; serie.CategoryLabels = sheet.Range["A2:B9"];
Step 7: Show multi-level category labels.
chart.PrimaryCategoryAxis.MultiLevelLable = true;
Step 8: Save the file.

With Spire.Doc, we can copy the content from one word document to another word document in C#. When we need to generate a large amount of documents from a single document, clone the document will be much easier. The clone method speeds up the generation of the word documents and developers only need one single line of code to get the copy of the word document.
Now we will show the code snippet of how to clone a word document in C#.
Step 1: Create a new instance of Document and load the document from file.
Document doc = new Document();
doc.LoadFromFile("Sample.docx",FileFormat.Docx2010);
Step 2: Clone the word document.
doc.Clone();
Step 3: Save the document to file.
doc.SaveToFile("Cloneword.docx", FileFormat.Docx2010);
Effective screenshot of clone the word document:

When creating chart, the legend appears by default. If we just need the chart series rather than the legend, we can delete the legend entries after creating the chart. Spire.Presentation supports to delete legend entries from chart by using ChartLegend.DeleteEntry method. This article is going to demonstrate how we can use Spire.Presentation to accomplish this function.
Below screenshot shows the example PowerPoint file which contains 3 chart legend entries:

Detail steps:
Step 1: Initialize an object of Presentation class and load the PowerPoint file.
Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
ppt.LoadFromFile("Input.pptx");
Step 2: Get the chart.
IChart chart = ppt.Slides[0].Shapes[0] as IChart;
Step 3: Delete the first and the second legend entries from the chart.
chart.ChartLegend.DeleteEntry(0); chart.ChartLegend.DeleteEntry(1);
Step 4: Save the file.
ppt.SaveToFile("Output.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);

Sometimes, you may want to convert Excel sheet to a high-resolution image, especially when the Excel report contains graphs or pictures. This article will show you how to set image resolution when saving Excel sheet to JPG using Spire.XLS.
Step 1: Create a custom function that you can use to reset the image resolution.
private static Bitmap ResetResolution(Metafile mf, float resolution)
{
int width = (int)(mf.Width * resolution / mf.HorizontalResolution);
int height = (int)(mf.Height * resolution / mf.VerticalResolution);
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(width, height);
bmp.SetResolution(resolution, resolution);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
g.DrawImage(mf, 0, 0);
g.Dispose();
return bmp;
}
Step 2: Create a workbook instance and load the sample Excel file.
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
workbook.LoadFromFile("Chart.xlsx",ExcelVersion.Version2013);
Step 3: Get the worksheet you want to convert.
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
Step 4: Convert the worksheet to EMF stream.
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(); worksheet.ToEMFStream(ms, 1, 1, worksheet.LastRow, worksheet.LastColumn);
Step 5: Create an image from the EMF stream, and call ResetResolution to reset the resolution for the image.
Image image = Image.FromStream(ms); Bitmap images = ResetResolution(image as Metafile, 300);
Step 6: Save the image in JPG file format.
images.Save("Result.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
Output:
