}

IChartDataPointCollection.AddDataPointForStockSeries() method has been added

IChartDataPointCollection.AddDataPointForStockSeries() and ChartDataPointCollection.AddDataPointForStockSeries() methods have been added.

These methods create the new data point and adds it to the end of collection.

Applicable for series which chartType is one of Stock subtypes (see also ChartTypeCharacterizer.IsChartTypeStock(ChartType) method).

using (Presentation pres = new Presentation())
{
    IChart chart = pres.Slides[0].Shapes.AddChart(ChartType.OpenHighLowClose, 50, 50, 600, 400, false);

    chart.ChartData.Series.Clear();
    chart.ChartData.Categories.Clear();

    IChartDataWorkbook wb = chart.ChartData.ChartDataWorkbook;

    chart.ChartData.Categories.Add(wb.GetCell(0, 1, 0, "A"));
    chart.ChartData.Categories.Add(wb.GetCell(0, 2, 0, "B"));
    chart.ChartData.Categories.Add(wb.GetCell(0, 3, 0, "C"));

    chart.ChartData.Series.Add(wb.GetCell(0, 0, 1, "Open"), chart.Type);
    chart.ChartData.Series.Add(wb.GetCell(0, 0, 2, "High"), chart.Type);
    chart.ChartData.Series.Add(wb.GetCell(0, 0, 3, "Low"), chart.Type);
    chart.ChartData.Series.Add(wb.GetCell(0, 0, 4, "Close"), chart.Type);

    IChartSeries series = chart.ChartData.Series[0];

    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 1, 1, 72));
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 2, 1, 25));
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 3, 1, 38));

    series = chart.ChartData.Series[1];
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 1, 2, 172));
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 2, 2, 57));
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 3, 2, 57));

    series = chart.ChartData.Series[2];
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 1, 3, 12));
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 2, 3, 12));
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 3, 3, 13));

    series = chart.ChartData.Series[3];
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 1, 4, 25));
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 2, 4, 38));
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 3, 4, 50));

    chart.ChartData.SeriesGroups[0].UpDownBars.HasUpDownBars = true;
    chart.ChartData.SeriesGroups[0].HiLowLinesFormat.Line.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Solid;

    foreach (IChartSeries ser in chart.ChartData.Series)
    {
        ser.Format.Line.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.NoFill;
    }

    pres.Save("output.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

IChartSeriesGroup.HiLowLinesFormat property has been added

    chart.ChartData.SeriesGroups[0].HiLowLinesFormat.Line.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.Red;

    pres.Save("output.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

    });
}

{
    ITable table = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.AddTable(50, 50, new double[] { 200, 200 }, new double[] { 50, 50, 50, 50 });
    table.StylePreset = TableStylePreset.LightStyle1Accent5;

    presentation.Save(path + "presentation-out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

Obsolete HeaderFooterManager class has been deleted

Obsolete HeaderFooterManager class has been deleted.

Please use class PresentationHeaderFooterManager or one of the corresponding classes MasterSlideHeaderFooterManager, LayoutSlideHeaderFooterManager, SlideHeaderFooterManager instead.
