This C#.NET guide demonstrates how to generate the Microsoft Stacked Area Chart (both 2D and 3D Stacked Area Chart), and insert the MS Stacked Area Chart image to PDF document.
Area stacked chart can be customized in rotation, color, size and other properties. The following C# sample code shows how to create and insert Microsoft Stacked Area Chart to PDF document programmatically.
Please note, before developers using the chart creating code, the MS Chart Control should be referred to your .NET program:
- System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting (for .NET WinForms project)
- System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting (for ASP.NET application)
Make and insert Microsoft 2D Stacked Area Chart to PDF in C# code.
public static void InsertMSChartToPDF() { // Create a new PDF document. PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument(); // Create an empty page in this document. PdfPage page = document.AddPage(); // Obtain an XGraphics object to render to XGraphics g = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page); // Create stacked area chart stream object Stream chartStream = CreateMSStackedAreaChart(); // Convert chart stream to XImage object XImage chartImage = XImage.FromStream(chartStream); // Insert the chart image to pdf page in any position g.DrawImage(chartImage, 50, 50); // Save and show the document document.Save("MSStackedAreaChart.pdf"); Process.Start("MSStackedAreaChart.pdf"); } public static Stream CreateMSStackedAreaChart() { // Create ms chart object Chart chart = new Chart(); ChartArea chartArea = new ChartArea(); Series series1 = new Series(); Series series2 = new Series(); Series series3 = new Series(); // Input Data Point DataPoint dataPoint1 = new DataPoint(0, 5); DataPoint dataPoint2 = new DataPoint(0, 8.5); DataPoint dataPoint3 = new DataPoint(0, 9); DataPoint dataPoint4 = new DataPoint(0, 7); DataPoint dataPoint5 = new DataPoint(0, 5); DataPoint dataPoint6 = new DataPoint(0, 5); DataPoint dataPoint7 = new DataPoint(0, 4); DataPoint dataPoint8 = new DataPoint(0, 5); DataPoint dataPoint9 = new DataPoint(0, 3.5); DataPoint dataPoint10 = new DataPoint(0, 4); DataPoint dataPoint11 = new DataPoint(0, 3); DataPoint dataPoint12 = new DataPoint(0, 7); DataPoint dataPoint13 = new DataPoint(0, 2); DataPoint dataPoint14 = new DataPoint(0, 4); DataPoint dataPoint15 = new DataPoint(0, 8); // Set series1 with data, color, chart type and name series1.BorderColor = Color.FromArgb(180, 26, 59, 105); series1.ChartType = SeriesChartType.StackedArea; series1.Color = Color.FromArgb(220, 65, 140, 240); series1.Name = "Series1"; series1.Points.Add(dataPoint1); series1.Points.Add(dataPoint2); series1.Points.Add(dataPoint3); series1.Points.Add(dataPoint4); series1.Points.Add(dataPoint5); // Set series2 with data, color, chart type and name series2.BorderColor = Color.FromArgb(180, 26, 59, 105); series2.ChartType = SeriesChartType.StackedArea; series2.Color = Color.FromArgb(220, 252, 180, 65); series2.Name = "Series2"; series2.Points.Add(dataPoint6); series2.Points.Add(dataPoint7); series2.Points.Add(dataPoint8); series2.Points.Add(dataPoint9); series2.Points.Add(dataPoint10); // Set series3 with data, color, chart type and name series3.BorderColor = Color.FromArgb(180, 26, 59, 105); series3.ChartType = SeriesChartType.StackedArea; series3.Color = Color.FromArgb(220, 224, 64, 10); series3.Name = "Series3"; series3.Points.Add(dataPoint11); series3.Points.Add(dataPoint12); series3.Points.Add(dataPoint13); series3.Points.Add(dataPoint14); series3.Points.Add(dataPoint15); // Bind series data to chart chart.Series.Add(series1); chart.Series.Add(series2); chart.Series.Add(series3); // Set chart 3D style chartArea.Area3DStyle.Enable3D = false; // Bind chart area to chart object chart.ChartAreas.Add(chartArea); // Modify chart size chart.Size = new Size(400, 300); // Render chart graphics to stream MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(); chart.SaveImage(ms, ChartImageFormat.Png); return ms; }
Generate and render MS 3D Stacked Area Chart to PDF in C# code.
All the steps are the same as above, only need change one line code chartArea.Area3DStyle.Enable3D = false; in the "CreateMSStackedAreaChart()" to the C# code below.
chartArea.Area3DStyle.Enable3D = true; chartArea.Area3DStyle.Inclination = 15; chartArea.Area3DStyle.IsRightAngleAxes = false; chartArea.Area3DStyle.Perspective = 10; chartArea.Area3DStyle.Rotation = 10; chartArea.BackColor = Color.WhiteSmoke;
