4 mins read
Syncfusion Essential DocIO is a .NET Word library used to create, read, and edit Word documents programmatically without Microsoft Word or Interop dependencies. Using this library, you can change the scatter chart marker color for each data points in Word document.
Steps to change the scatter chart marker color for each data points in Word document programmatically:
- Create a new C# console application project.
- Install the Syncfusion.DocIO.Winforms NuGet package as a reference to your .NET Framework applications from NuGet.org.
- Include the following namespace in the Program.cs file.
C#
using System.Drawing; using Syncfusion.DocIO; using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS; using Syncfusion.OfficeChart;
VB.NET
Imports System.Drawing Imports Syncfusion.DocIO Imports Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS Imports Syncfusion.OfficeChart
- Use the following code example to change the scatter chart marker color for each data points in Word document.
C#
//Creates a new Word document
WordDocument document = new WordDocument();
//Adds section to the document
IWSection sec = document.AddSection();
//Adds paragraph to the section
IWParagraph paragraph = sec.AddParagraph();
//Creates and Appends chart to the paragraph
WChart chart = paragraph.AppendChart(446, 270);
//Sets chart data - Row1
chart.ChartData.SetValue(1, 2, "Higest Price");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(1, 3, "Average Price");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(1, 4, "Lowest Price");
//Sets chart data - Row2
chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 1, "BT");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 2, 65);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 3, 57.50);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 4, 50);
//Sets chart data - Row3
chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 1, "Carphone");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 2, 69);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 3, 46.48);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 4, 30);
//Sets chart data - Row4
chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 1, "EE");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 2, 74);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 3, 62.33);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 4, 49);
//Sets chart data - Row5
chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 1, "O2");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 2, 67.25);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 3, 52.64);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 4, 40.56);
//Sets chart data - Row6
chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 1, "Sky Mobile");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 2, 85);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 3, 60.20);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 4, 38);

chart.ChartData.SetValue(7, 1, "Three");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(7, 2, 56);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(7, 3, 45);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(7, 4, 30);
//Sets chart data - Row8
chart.ChartData.SetValue(8, 1, "Vodafone");
chart.ChartData.SetValue(8, 2, 73);
chart.ChartData.SetValue(8, 3, 61);
