Hide or Show a Series of a Chart in PowerPoint in C#

Spire.Presentation provides a property "IsHidden" to enable developers to hide or show a specific series of a chart. This article demonstrates how we can accomplish this function using Spire.Presentation and C#.

Below is the screenshot of the original chart:

Detail steps:

Step 1: Instantiate a Presentation object and load the PowerPoint file.

Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
ppt.LoadFromFile("Input.pptx");

Step 2: Get the first slide.

ISlide slide = ppt.Slides[0];

Step 3: Get the first chart.

IChart chart = slide.Shapes[0] as IChart;

Step 4: Hide the first series of the chart.

//Hide the first series of the chart
chart.Series[0].IsHidden = true;

//Show the first series of the chart
//chart.Series[0].IsHidden = false;

Step 5: Save the file.

ppt.SaveToFile("Output.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013);

            //Get the first chart
            IChart chart = slide.Shapes[0] as IChart;

            //Hide the first series of the chart
            chart.Series[0].IsHidden = true;

            //Show the first series of the chart
            //chart.Series[0].IsHidden = false;
