Create and edit charts in PowerPoint presentations using Aspose.Slides APIs

FAQ

• Can I create a chart in a slide from scratch, or only edit an existing one?
  Both. A chart can be added to a slide with its type, position, size and data, and an existing chart’s series and categories can be rewritten in place.
• Where does the chart data live inside a presentation?
  In an embedded workbook, the same way PowerPoint stores it. Changing values means writing to that workbook, which is why the chart stays editable in PowerPoint afterwards.
• Can I render a chart to an image without opening PowerPoint?
  Yes. A chart can be exported as an image directly, which is how charts are turned into thumbnails or embedded in reports.
• Which chart types are available?
  The full PowerPoint set — column, bar, line, pie, area, scatter, bubble, radar, stock, surface, doughnut and the combination types — because the chart is written as a native PowerPoint chart, not a picture of one.
