Data Points of Treemap and Sunburst Chart
Among other types of PowerPoint charts, there are two “hierarchical” types - Treemap and Sunburst chart (also known as Sunburst Graph, Sunburst Diagram, Radial Chart, Radial Graph or Multi Level Pie Chart). These charts display hierarchical data organized as a tree - from leaves to the top of the branch. Leaves are defined by the series data points, and each subsequent nested grouping level defined by the corresponding category. Aspose.Slides for C++ allows to format data points of Sunburst Chart and Treemap in C++.
Here is a Sunburst Chart, where data in Series1 column define the leaf nodes, while other columns define hierarchical datapoints:
Let’s start with adding a new Sunburst chart to the presentation:
System::SharedPtr<Presentation> pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>();
System::SharedPtr<IChart> chart = pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(0)->get_Shapes()->AddChart(Aspose::Slides::Charts::ChartType::Sunburst, 100.0f, 100.0f, 450.0f, 400.0f);
// ...

If there is a need to format data points of the chart, we should use the following:
IChartDataPointLevelsManager**, IChartDataPointLevel classes and IChartDataPoint::get_DataPointLevels() method provide access to format data points of Treemap and Sunburst charts. IChartDataPointLevelsManager **is used for accessing multi-level categories - it represents the container of IChartDataPointLevel objects. Basically it is a wrapper for IChartCategoryLevelsManager with the properties added specifically for data points. IChartDataPointLevel class has two methods: get_Format() and get_DataLabel() which provide access to corresponding settings.
Show Data Point Value
Show value of “Leaf 4” data point:
System::SharedPtr<IChartDataPointCollection> dataPoints = chart->get_ChartData()->get_Series()->idx_get(0)->get_DataPoints();
dataPoints->idx_get(3)->get_DataPointLevels()->idx_get(0)->get_Label()->get_DataLabelFormat()->set_ShowValue(true);
Set Data Point label and its color
Set “Branch 1” data label to show a series name (“Series1”) instead of the category name. Then set the text color to yellow:
System::SharedPtr<IDataLabel> branch1Label = dataPoints->idx_get(0)->get_DataPointLevels()->idx_get(2)->get_Label();
branch1Label->get_DataLabelFormat()->set_ShowCategoryName(false);
branch1Label->get_DataLabelFormat()->set_ShowSeriesName(true);
branch1Label->get_DataLabelFormat()->get_TextFormat()->get_PortionFormat()->get_FillFormat()->set_FillType(Aspose::Slides::FillType::Solid);
branch1Label->get_DataLabelFormat()->get_TextFormat()->get_PortionFormat()->get_FillFormat()->get_SolidFillColor()->set_Color(System::Drawing::Color::get_Yellow());
Set Data Point Branch Color
Change color of “Steam 4” branch:
System::SharedPtr<IFormat> steam4Format = dataPoints->idx_get(9)->get_DataPointLevels()->idx_get(1)->get_Format();
steam4Format->get_Fill()->set_FillType(Aspose::Slides::FillType::Solid);
steam4Format->get_Fill()->get_SolidFillColor()->set_Color(System::Drawing::Color::FromArgb(255, 0, 176, 240));
IPdfOptions::get_AccessPermissions() and IPdfOptions::set_AccessPermissions() methods have been added
get_AccessPermissions() and set_AccessPermissions() methods have been added to IPdfOptions** interface and PdfOptions **class. All possible values of this property are defined in the PdfAccessPermissions enumeration. These values allow you to restrict access rights to a PDF document such as printing, modify the contents, copy text and graphics, add or modify text annotations, create or modify interactive form fields, extract text and graphics in support of accessibility to users with disabilities, create bookmarks, manipulate pages, etc. The values of this enumeration may be combined.
Example
The example below demonstrates how to set access permissions to a PDF document only for printing in high quality.
auto pdfOptions = System::MakeObject<PdfOptions>();
pdfOptions->set_Password(u"my_password");
pdfOptions->set_AccessPermissions(Aspose::Slides::Export::PdfAccessPermissions::PrintDocument | Aspose::Slides::Export::PdfAccessPermissions::HighQualityPrint);
auto presentation = System::MakeObject<Presentation>();
presentation->Save(pdfFilePath, Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Pdf, pdfOptions);
ISlideCollection::AddClone() method has been added
AddClone() method has been added to ISlideCollection** interface and SlideCollection **class. This method allows adding a slide clone into a specified section.
Method declaration
/// <summary>
/// Adds a copy of a specified slide to the end of the specified /// section.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="sourceSlide">Slide to clone.</param>
/// <param name="section">Section for a new slide.</param>
/// <returns>New slide.</returns>
/// <exception cref="ArgumentNullException"/>
/// <exception cref="PptxEditException"/>
System::SharedPtr<ISlide> AddClone(System::SharedPtr<ISlide> sourceSlide, System::SharedPtr<ISection> section);
Example
auto presentation = MakeObject<Presentation>();
presentation->get_Slides()->idx_get(0)->get_Shapes()->AddAutoShape(ShapeType::Rectangle, 200.0f, 50.0f, 300.0f, 100.0f);
presentation->get_Sections()->AddSection(u"Section 1", presentation->get_Slides()->idx_get(0));
auto section2 = presentation->get_Sections()->AppendEmptySection(u"Section 2");
presentation->get_Slides()->AddClone(presentation->get_Slides()->idx_get(0), section2);
// Now the second section contains a copy of the first slide.
