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

C#

//Create and append the chart to the paragraph.
WChart chart = paragraph.AppendChart(446, 270);
//Set chart type.
chart.ChartType = OfficeChartType.Radar_Filled;
Step 2: 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 DataLabels using the DefaultDataPoint.
  • Set TRUE to the chart’s HasLegend property to show the legend, else False.

C#

//Set region of Chart data.
chart.DataRange = chart.ChartData[2, 1, 7, 2];
 
//Apply the chart elements.
//Set a chart title.
chart.ChartTitle = "Filled Radar Chart";
 
//Set Datalabels.
IOfficeChartSerie serie = chart.Series[0];
serie.DataPoints.DefaultDataPoint.DataLabels.IsValue = true;
 
//Set legend.
chart.HasLegend = true;
chart.Legend.Position = OfficeLegendPosition.Bottom;

    //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.Radar_Filled;
    //Set chart data.
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 1, "Food");

    chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 1, "Vegetables");
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 1, "Dairy");
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 1, "Protein");
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(7, 1, "Grains");
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(2, 2, "Percentage");
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(3, 2, 36);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(4, 2, 14);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(5, 2, 13);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(6, 2, 28);
    chart.ChartData.SetValue(7, 2, 9);
    //Set region of Chart data.
    chart.DataRange = chart.ChartData[2, 1, 7, 2];
    //Set chart series in the column for assigned data region.
    chart.IsSeriesInRows = false;
    //Set a Chart Title.
    chart.ChartTitle = "Filled Radar Chart";
    //Set Datalabels.
    IOfficeChartSerie serie = chart.Series[0];
 
    serie.DataPoints.DefaultDataPoint.DataLabels.IsValue = true;
    //Set legend.
    chart.HasLegend = true;
    chart.Legend.Position = OfficeLegendPosition.Bottom;
    //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);
    }
