How to create 3D 100% stacked area chart in Word document using C#?

4 mins read

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 3D 100% stacked area chart in Word document in C#.

What is a 3D 100% stacked area chart?

3D 100% stacked area charts are useful to show the trend of the contribution of each value over time or other category data, but they show areas in 3-D format without using a depth axis.

3D 100% Stacked Area chart in .NET Core Word library

3D 100% Stacked Area chart in Word document

Steps to create 3D 100% stacked area chart in Word document:

  1. Initialize chart.

Create a chart object by calling the paragraph.AppendChart(446,270) method and specify the chart type to the OfficeChartType.Area_Stacked_100_3D enum value.

C#

//Create and append the chart to the paragraph.
WChart chart = paragraph.AppendChart(446, 270);
//Set chart type.
chart.ChartType = OfficeChartType.Area_Stacked_100_3D;
  1. Assign data and chart elements.

Add the basic elements like the chart title, data labels and legend.

  • Assign data.
  • ChartTitle of the chart object.
  • Set TRUE to the chart’s HasLegend property to show the legend, else False.

C#

//Set region of Chart data.
chart.DataRange = chart.ChartData[1, 1, 6, 4];
 
//Apply the chart elements.
//Set a chart title.
chart.ChartTitle = "3D 100% Stacked  Area Chart";
 
//Set legend.
chart.HasLegend = true;
chart.Legend.Position = OfficeLegendPosition.Bottom;
  1. Apply 3D chart elements

Add the 3D charts elements like Rotation, Elevation and Perspective.

  • Rotation, Elevation and Perspective of the chart object.

C#

//Set rotation, elevation and perspective.
chart.Rotation = 20;
chart.Elevation = 15;
chart.Perspective = 15;

Applicable properties for 3D 100% stacked area chart

Common properties applicable for 3D 100% stacked area chart are

  • GapDepth
  • IsVaryColor (This property holds good for single series chart).
    Note:

    Applying the properties apart from the mentioned list might throw an exception, or the changes will not be reflected in the output document because those properties are not related to 3D area chart.

The following C# code sample shows the creation of a 3D 100% stacked area chart using the Word library.

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.Area_Stacked_100_3D;
    //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 = "3D 100% Stacked Area Chart";
    //Set legend.
    chart.HasLegend = true;
    chart.Legend.Position = OfficeLegendPosition.Bottom;
    //Set rotation, elevation and perspective.
    chart.Rotation = 20;
    chart.Elevation = 15;
    chart.Perspective = 15;
    //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);
    }
}
