## **Overview**

Aspose.Slides allows you to export a chart from a presentation as an image. This article shows how to get an image from a chart and save it, which is useful when you need to reuse chart visuals outside a PowerPoint presentation.

## **Get a Chart Image**
Aspose.Slides for C++ provides support for extracting image of specific chart. Below sample example is given. 

```cpp
#include <DOM/Chart/ChartType.h>
#include <DOM/IChart.h>
#include <DOM/IShapeCollection.h>
#include <DOM/ISlide.h>
#include <DOM/Presentation.h>
#include <IImage.h>
#include <ImageFormat.h>
#include <system/smart_ptr.h>
using namespace Aspose::Slides;
using namespace Aspose::Slides::Charts;
using namespace System;

auto presentation = MakeObject<Presentation>(u"test.pptx");

auto slide = presentation->get_Slide(0);
auto chart = slide->get_Shapes()->AddChart(ChartType::ClusteredColumn, 0, 0, 500, 500);

auto image = chart->GetImage();
image->Save(u"image.png", ImageFormat::Png);
image->Dispose();

presentation->Dispose();
```

## **FAQ**

### Can I export a chart as a vector (SVG) instead of a raster image?

Yes. A chart is a shape, and its contents can be saved to SVG using the [shape-to-SVG saving method](https://reference.aspose.com/slides/cpp/aspose.slides/shape/writeassvg/).

### How can I set the exact size of the exported chart in pixels?

Use the image-rendering overloads that let you specify size or scale—the library supports rendering objects with given dimensions/scale.

### What should I do if fonts in labels and the legend look wrong after export?

[Load the required fonts](/slides/cpp/custom-font/) via [FontsLoader](https://reference.aspose.com/slides/cpp/aspose.slides/fontsloader/) so the chart rendering preserves metrics and text appearance.

### Does export honor the PowerPoint theme, styles, and effects?

Yes. Aspose.Slides’ renderer follows the presentation’s formatting (themes, styles, fills, effects), so the chart’s appearance is preserved.

### Where can I find available rendering/export capabilities beyond chart images?

See the export section of the [API](https://reference.aspose.com/slides/cpp/aspose.slides.export/)/[documentation](/slides/cpp/convert-powerpoint/) for output targets ([PDF](/slides/cpp/convert-powerpoint-to-pdf/), [SVG](/slides/cpp/render-a-slide-as-an-svg-image/), [XPS](/slides/cpp/convert-powerpoint-to-xps/), [HTML](/slides/cpp/convert-powerpoint-to-html/), etc.) and related rendering options.
