Remarks

Use the Worksheet.Charts property to return the ChartCollection collection.

Use the ChartCollection.Add method to create a new chart and add it to the workbook. The following example adds a new embedded chart to the active worksheet and places the new chart above the cells in the range E2:K15.

The example below demonstrates how to create a 3-D pie chart using the ChartCollection.Add method overload that enables you to specify a CellRange containing chart data.

Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets["chartTask1"];

// Create a pie chart and specify its location.
Chart chart = worksheet.Charts.Add(ChartType.Pie3D, worksheet["B2:C7"]);
chart.TopLeftCell = worksheet.Cells["E2"];
chart.BottomRightCell = worksheet.Cells["K15"];

// Set the chart style.
chart.Style = ChartStyle.ColorGradient;
