A gauge chart (or speedometer chart) is a combination of doughnut chart and pie chart. It only displays a single value which is used to indicate how far you are from reaching a goal. In this article, you'll learn how to create a gauge chart in C# via Spire.XLS.
Here is the gauge chart that I'm going to create.

Code Snippet:
Step 1: Create a new workbook and add some sample data into the first sheet.
Workbook book = new Workbook(); Worksheet sheet = book.Worksheets[0]; sheet.Range["A1"].Value = "Value"; sheet.Range["A2"].Value = "30"; sheet.Range["A3"].Value = "60"; sheet.Range["A4"].Value = "90"; sheet.Range["A5"].Value = "180"; sheet.Range["C2"].Value = "value"; sheet.Range["C3"].Value = "pointer"; sheet.Range["C4"].Value = "End"; sheet.Range["D2"].Value = "10"; sheet.Range["D3"].Value = "1"; sheet.Range["D4"].Value = "189";
Step 2: Create a doughnut chart based on the data from A1 to A5. Set the chart position.
Chart chart = sheet.Charts.Add(ExcelChartType.Doughnut); chart.DataRange = sheet.Range["A1:A5"]; chart.SeriesDataFromRange = false; chart.HasLegend = true; chart.LeftColumn = 2; chart.TopRow = 7; chart.RightColumn = 9; chart.BottomRow = 25;
Step 3: Set format of Value series. Following code makes the graphic looks like a semi-circle.
var cs1 = (ChartSerie)chart.Series["Value"]; cs1.Format.Options.DoughnutHoleSize = 60; cs1.DataFormat.Options.FirstSliceAngle = 270; cs1.DataPoints[0].DataFormat.Fill.ForeColor = Color.Yellow; cs1.DataPoints[1].DataFormat.Fill.ForeColor = Color.PaleVioletRed; cs1.DataPoints[2].DataFormat.Fill.ForeColor = Color.DarkViolet; cs1.DataPoints[3].DataFormat.Fill.Visible = false;
Step 4: Add a new series to the doughnut chart, set chart type as Pie, and set the data range for the series. Format the each data point in the series to make sure only the pointer category is visible in the graphic.
var cs2 = (ChartSerie)chart.Series.Add("Pointer", ExcelChartType.Pie);
cs2.Values = sheet.Range["D2:D4"];
cs2.UsePrimaryAxis = false;
cs2.DataPoints[0].DataLabels.HasValue= true;
cs2.DataFormat.Options.FirstSliceAngle = 270;
cs2.DataPoints[0].DataFormat.Fill.Visible = false;
cs2.DataPoints[1].DataFormat.Fill.FillType = ShapeFillType.SolidColor;
cs2.DataPoints[1].DataFormat.Fill.ForeColor = Color.Black;
cs2.DataPoints[2].DataFormat.Fill.Visible = false;
Step 5: Save and launch to view the effect.

In our tutorials, there are articles introducing the method to insert, remove, position text box and extract text from text box. This article is going to give the documentation of how to set the internal margin for textbox with the position and line style settings included using Spire.Doc.
Note: before start, please download the latest version of Spire.Doc and add the .dll in the bin folder as the reference of Visual Studio.
Step 1: Create a Word document and add a section.
Document document = new Document(); Section sec = document.AddSection();
Step 2: Add a text box and append sample text.
TextBox TB = document.Sections[0].AddParagraph().AppendTextBox(310, 90);
Paragraph para = TB.Body.AddParagraph();
TextRange TR = para.AppendText("Using Spire.Doc, developers will find a simple and effective method to endow their applications with rich MS Word features. ");
TR.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Cambria ";
TR.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 13;
Step 3: Set exact position for the text box.
TB.Format.HorizontalOrigin = HorizontalOrigin.Page; TB.Format.HorizontalPosition = 80; TB.Format.VerticalOrigin = VerticalOrigin.Page; TB.Format.VerticalPosition = 100;
Step 4: Set line style for the text box.
TB.Format.LineStyle = TextBoxLineStyle.Double; TB.Format.LineColor = Color.CornflowerBlue; TB.Format.LineDashing = LineDashing.DashDotDot; TB.Format.LineWidth = 5;
Step 5: Set internal margin for the text box:
TB.Format.InternalMargin.Top = 15; TB.Format.InternalMargin.Bottom = 10; TB.Format.InternalMargin.Left = 12; TB.Format.InternalMargin.Right = 10;
Step 6: Save the document and launch to see effects.

By default, Excel sets the axis properties automatically for charts. These properties include axis options like maximum & minimum value, major & minor unit, major & minor tick mark type, axis labels position, axis across value and whether values in reverse order. Sometimes we need to set those properties manually to beautify and perfect the charts. This article is going to introduce the method to customize axis setting for Excel chart in C# using Spire.XLS.
Note: before start, please download the latest version of Spire.XLS and add the .dll in the bin folder as the reference of Visual Studio.
Step 1: Create a workbook and add a sheet filled with some sample data.
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
workbook.CreateEmptySheets(1);
Worksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
sheet.Name = "Demo";
sheet.Range["A1"].Value = "Month";
sheet.Range["A2"].Value = "Jan";
sheet.Range["A3"].Value = "Feb";
sheet.Range["A4"].Value = "Mar";
sheet.Range["A5"].Value = "Apr";
sheet.Range["A6"].Value = "May";
sheet.Range["A7"].Value = "Jun";
sheet.Range["A8"].Value = "Jul";
sheet.Range["A9"].Value = "Aug";
sheet.Range["B1"].Value = "Planned";
sheet.Range["B2"].NumberValue = 38;
sheet.Range["B3"].NumberValue = 47;
sheet.Range["B4"].NumberValue = 39;
sheet.Range["B5"].NumberValue = 36;
sheet.Range["B6"].NumberValue = 27;
sheet.Range["B7"].NumberValue = 25;
sheet.Range["B8"].NumberValue = 36;
sheet.Range["B9"].NumberValue = 48;
Step 2: Create a column clustered chart based on the sample data.
Chart chart = sheet.Charts.Add(ExcelChartType.ColumnClustered);
chart.DataRange = sheet.Range["B1:B9"];
chart.SeriesDataFromRange = false;
chart.PlotArea.Visible = false;
chart.TopRow = 6;
chart.BottomRow = 25;
chart.LeftColumn = 2;
chart.RightColumn = 9;
chart.ChartTitle = "Chart with Customized Axis";
chart.ChartTitleArea.IsBold = true;
chart.ChartTitleArea.Size = 12;
Spire.Xls.Charts.ChartSerie cs1 = chart.Series[0];
cs1.CategoryLabels = sheet.Range["A2:A9"];
Step 3: Set the customized axis properties for the chart.
chart.PrimaryValueAxis.MajorUnit = 8;
chart.PrimaryValueAxis.MinorUnit = 2;
chart.PrimaryValueAxis.MaxValue = 50;
chart.PrimaryValueAxis.MinValue = 0;
chart.PrimaryValueAxis.IsReverseOrder = false;
chart.PrimaryValueAxis.MajorTickMark = TickMarkType.TickMarkOutside;
chart.PrimaryValueAxis.MinorTickMark = TickMarkType.TickMarkInside;
chart.PrimaryValueAxis.TickLabelPosition = TickLabelPositionType.TickLabelPositionNextToAxis;
chart.PrimaryValueAxis.CrossesAt = 0;

Embed 3D Interactive Graphics into PDF Document in C#/VB.NET
2015-09-22 08:43:39 Written by AdministratorUniversal 3D (U3D) is a compressed file format for 3D computer graphic data. 3D modules in U3D format can be inserted into PDF documents and interactively visualized by Acrobat Reader. This article presents how to embed a pre-created U3D file into a PDF document using Spire.PDF in C#, VB.NET.
Main Steps:
Step 1: Initialize a new object of PdfDocuemnt, and add a blank page to the PDF document.
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument(); PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages.Add();
Step 2: Draw a rectangle on the page to define the canvas area for the 3D file.
Rectangle rt = new Rectangle(0, 80, 200, 200);
Step 3: Initialize a new object of Pdf3DAnnotation, load the .u3d file as 3D annotation.
Pdf3DAnnotation annotation = new Pdf3DAnnotation(rt, "teapot.u3d"); annotation.Activation = new Pdf3DActivation(); annotation.Activation.ActivationMode = Pdf3DActivationMode.PageOpen;
Step 4: Define a 3D view mode.
Pdf3DView View= new Pdf3DView(); View.Background = new Pdf3DBackground(new PdfRGBColor(Color.Purple )); View.ViewNodeName = "test"; View.RenderMode = new Pdf3DRendermode(Pdf3DRenderStyle.Solid); View.InternalName = "test"; View.LightingScheme = new Pdf3DLighting(); View.LightingScheme.Style = Pdf3DLightingStyle.Day;
Step 5: Set the 3D view mode for the annotation.
annotation.Views.Add(View);
Step 6: Add the annotation to PDF.
page.Annotations.Add(annotation);
Step 7: Save the file.
doc.SaveToFile("Create3DPdf.pdf", FileFormat.PDF);
Output:

using Spire.Pdf;
using Spire.Pdf.Annotations;
using Spire.Pdf.Graphics;
using System.Drawing;
namespace Embed3DInteractiveGraphics
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages.Add();
Rectangle rt = new Rectangle(0, 80, 200, 200);
Pdf3DAnnotation annotation = new Pdf3DAnnotation(rt, "teapot.u3d");
annotation.Activation = new Pdf3DActivation();
annotation.Activation.ActivationMode = Pdf3DActivationMode.PageOpen;
Pdf3DView View= new Pdf3DView();
View.Background = new Pdf3DBackground(new PdfRGBColor(Color.Purple));
View.ViewNodeName = "test";
View.RenderMode = new Pdf3DRendermode(Pdf3DRenderStyle.Solid);
View.InternalName = "test";
View.LightingScheme = new Pdf3DLighting();
View.LightingScheme.Style = Pdf3DLightingStyle.Day;
annotation.Views.Add(View);
page.Annotations.Add(annotation);
doc.SaveToFile("Create3DPdf.pdf", FileFormat.PDF);

As a comprehensive PDF component, Spire.PDF supports to sign a PDF digitally, embed certificate in PDF as well as delete signatures in existing PDF documents. In this article, you'll learn how to remove all digital signatures from a PDF with C#, VB.NET.
Test File:

Code Snippet:
Step 1: Create a new PdfDocument object and load the test file.
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument("test.pdf");
Step 2: Get loaded form from PDF.
PdfFormWidget widgets = pdf.Form as PdfFormWidget;
Step 3: Get the list of filed collection, and judge if each filed is a signature filed. If yes, remove the signature field using PdfFieldCollection.RemoveAt(int index) method.
for (int i = 0; i < widgets.FieldsWidget.List.Count; i++)
{
PdfFieldWidget widget = widgets.FieldsWidget.List[i] as PdfFieldWidget;
if (widget is PdfSignatureFieldWidget)
{
widgets.FieldsWidget.RemoveAt(i);
}
}
Step 4: Save and launch the result file.
pdf.SaveToFile("result.pdf");
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("result.pdf");
Result:

Full Code:
using Spire.Pdf;
using Spire.Pdf.Widget;
namespace RemoveDigitalSignature
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument("test.pdf");
PdfFormWidget widgets = pdf.Form as PdfFormWidget;
for (int i = 0; i < widgets.FieldsWidget.List.Count; i++)
{
PdfFieldWidget widget = widgets.FieldsWidget.List[i] as PdfFieldWidget;
if (widget is PdfSignatureFieldWidget)
{
widgets.FieldsWidget.RemoveAt(i);
}
}
pdf.SaveToFile("result.pdf");
