Create PPT Files Chart - Java

//Instantiate Presentation class 
Presentation pres = new Presentation();

//Access first slide
ISlide sld = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0);

// Add chart with default data
IChart chart = sld.getShapes().addChart(ChartType.ClusteredColumn, 0, 0, 500, 500);

//Setting chart Title
//chart.getChartTitle().TextFrameForOverriding.Text = "Title";
chart.getChartTitle().addTextFrameForOverriding("Title");
chart.getChartTitle().getTextFrameForOverriding().getTextFrameFormat().setCenterText(NullableBool.True);
chart.getChartTitle().setHeight(20);
chart.hasTitle(true);

//Set first series to Show Values
chart.getChartData().getSeries().get_Item(0).getLabels().getDefaultDataLabelFormat().setShowValue(true);

//Setting the index of chart data sheet
int defaultWorksheetIndex = 0;

//Getting the chart data worksheet
IChartDataWorkbook fact = chart.getChartData().getChartDataWorkbook();

//Delete default generated series and categories
chart.getChartData().getSeries().clear();
chart.getChartData().getCategories().clear();
int s = chart.getChartData().getSeries().size();
s = chart.getChartData().getCategories().size();

//Adding new series
chart.getChartData().getSeries().add(fact.getCell(defaultWorksheetIndex, 0, 1, "Series 1"), chart.getType());
chart.getChartData().getSeries().add(fact.getCell(defaultWorksheetIndex, 0, 2, "Series 2"), chart.getType());

//Adding new categories
chart.getChartData().getCategories().add(fact.getCell(defaultWorksheetIndex, 1, 0, "Caetegoty 1"));
chart.getChartData().getCategories().add(fact.getCell(defaultWorksheetIndex, 2, 0, "Caetegoty 2"));
chart.getChartData().getCategories().add(fact.getCell(defaultWorksheetIndex, 3, 0, "Caetegoty 3"));

//Take first chart series
IChartSeries series = chart.getChartData().getSeries().get_Item(0);

//Now populating series data

series.getDataPoints().addDataPointForBarSeries(fact.getCell(defaultWorksheetIndex, 1, 1, 20));
series.getDataPoints().addDataPointForBarSeries(fact.getCell(defaultWorksheetIndex, 2, 1, 50));
series.getDataPoints().addDataPointForBarSeries(fact.getCell(defaultWorksheetIndex, 3, 1, 30));

//Setting fill color for series
series.getFormat().getFill().setFillType(FillType.Solid);
series.getFormat().getFill().getSolidFillColor().setColor(java.awt.Color.RED);

//Take second chart series
series = chart.getChartData().getSeries().get_Item(1);

//Now populating series data
series.getDataPoints().addDataPointForBarSeries(fact.getCell(defaultWorksheetIndex, 1, 2, 30));
series.getDataPoints().addDataPointForBarSeries(fact.getCell(defaultWorksheetIndex, 2, 2, 10));
series.getDataPoints().addDataPointForBarSeries(fact.getCell(defaultWorksheetIndex, 3, 2, 60));

//Setting fill color for series
series.getFormat().getFill().setFillType(FillType.Solid);
series.getFormat().getFill().getSolidFillColor().setColor(java.awt.Color.GREEN);

//create custom labels for each of categories for new series

//first label will be show Category name
IDataLabel lbl = series.getDataPoints().get_Item(0).getLabel();
lbl.getDataLabelFormat().setShowCategoryName(true);

lbl = series.getDataPoints().get_Item(1).getLabel();
lbl.getDataLabelFormat().setShowSeriesName(true);

//Show value for third label
lbl = series.getDataPoints().get_Item(2).getLabel();
lbl.getDataLabelFormat().setShowValue(true);
lbl.getDataLabelFormat().setShowSeriesName(true);
lbl.getDataLabelFormat().setSeparator("/");

//Save presentation with chart
pres.save("AsposeChart.ppt",SaveFormat.Ppt);

    PPT What is PPT File Format?

    A file with PPT extension represents PowerPoint file that consists of a collection of slides for displaying as SlideShow. It specifies the Binary File Format used by Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003. A PPT file can contain several different types of information such as text, bulleted points, images, multimedia and other embedded OLE objects. Microsoft came up with newer file format for PowerPoint, known as PPTX, from 2007 onwards that is based on Office OpenXML and is different from this binary file format. Several other application programs such as OpenOffice Impress and Apple Keynote can also create PPT files.
