Create line chart with different color series in Word document using C#.
Syncfusion Essential DocIO is a .NET Core Word library used to create, read, and edit Word documents programmatically without Microsoft Word or Interop dependencies. Using this library, you can create a line chart with different color series in a Word document in C#.
Steps to create a line chart with different color series in a Word document
- Create a new C# .NET Core console application project.
- Install the Syncfusion.DocIO.Net.Core NuGet package as a reference to your .NET Core applications from NuGet.org.
- Include the following namespace in the Program.cs file
C#
using Syncfusion.DocIO; using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS; using Syncfusion.OfficeChart; using Syncfusion.Drawing;
- Set Linecolor properties to the series.
C#
//Set different colors for the series. series1.SerieFormat.LineProperties.LineColor = Color.Green; series2.SerieFormat.LineProperties.LineColor = Color.Purple; series3.SerieFormat.LineProperties.LineColor = Color.Turquoise;
- Use the following code example to create a line chart with different color series in a Word document.
C#
//Create a new Word document.
using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument())
{
//Add a section to the document.
IWSection section = document.AddSection();
//Add a paragraph to the section.
IWParagraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
//Create and append the chart to the paragraph.
WChart chart = paragraph.AppendChart(446, 270);
//Set chart type.
chart.ChartType = OfficeChartType.Line;
//Set chart data.
chart.ChartData.SetValue(1, 1, "Fruits");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 1, "Apples");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 1, "Grapes");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 1, "Bananas");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 1, "Oranges");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 1, "Melons");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(1, 2, "Joey");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 2, 5);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 2, 4);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 2, 4);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 2, 2);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 2, 2);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(1, 3, "Matthew");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 3, 3);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 3, 5);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 3, 4);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 3, 1);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 3, 7);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(1, 4, "Peter");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 4, 2);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 4, 2);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 4, 3);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 4, 5);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 4, 6);
//Set region of Chart data.
chart.DataRange = chart.ChartData[1, 1, 6, 4];
//Set chart series in the column for assigned data region.
chart.IsSeriesInRows = false;
//Set a Chart Title.
chart.ChartTitle = "Line Chart";
//Set Datalabels.
IOfficeChartSerie series1 = chart.Series[0];
IOfficeChartSerie series2 = chart.Series[1];
IOfficeChartSerie series3 = chart.Series[2];
series1.DataPoints.DefaultDataPoint.DataLabels.IsValue = true;
series2.DataPoints.DefaultDataPoint.DataLabels.IsValue = true;
series3.DataPoints.DefaultDataPoint.DataLabels.IsValue = true;
//Set different colors for the series.
series1.SerieFormat.LineProperties.LineColor = Color.Green;
series2.SerieFormat.LineProperties.LineColor = Color.Purple;
series3.SerieFormat.LineProperties.LineColor = Color.Turquoise;
//Set legend.
chart.HasLegend = true;
chart.Legend.Position = OfficeLegendPosition.Bottom;
//Create a file stream.
using (FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"../../../Sample.docx"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
{
//Save the Word document to the file stream.
document.Save(outputFileStream, FormatType.Docx);
}
}
Similarly, set the Linecolor property for all types of line charts and stock charts.
