Methods

Name Description
AddAutoShape Adds an autoshape to an existing embedded chart. Note that the coordinates for the shape are in chart coords, meaning that only row1, row2, col1 and col2 are used, and they represent the percentage in 1/4000 of the coordinate.
So 0 means the top and left of the parent chart, and 4000 means the bottom and right of the parent chart.
AddImage Adds an image to the active sheet.
Note that for SVG images, xlsx files store both a PNG and SVG image. To enter an SVG image, use ExcelChart.​Add​Image​Alternate
AddImageAlternate Adds an image to the active sheet.
Currently this method is only needed for SVG images, since SVG images are stored as both PNG and SVG inside the xlsx file. This method allows you to supply both images.
CheckConnected Checks if the chart is already loaded.
CheckRange Checks if a parameter is in the range.
CheckRangeObjPath Checks if an ObjPath is in the range.
CheckRangeObj​Path​OrImage​Index Checks that a range or path are between bounds. Internal use.
ClearImage Clears the image at position imageIndex, leaving an empty white box.
DeleteImage Deletes the image at position imageIndex. Note that if the image is grouped, this will remove the full group.
To remove a particular image inside a group, use ExcelChart.​Delete​Object(​​Int32, String).
DoAfterConstruction This method will be called after the chart has been created.
GetImageProperties Returns image position and size.
GetShapeLinkedCell Returns the cell that is linked to the shape or image. If the object isn't linked, this method will return null.
Note that when you change the value in the cell linked to this object, the value of the object will change.
Also note that this method applies to shapes like a rectangle or circle, or an image. Objects like a combobox won't be reported by this method.
HasImageAlternate Returns true if the image has an alternate representation. This currently happens only with SVG images, which have a PNG base and an SVG alternate. If the image has an alternate, you can get the data with ExcelChart.​Get​Image​Alternate
ImageIndexTo​Object​Path Returns the absolute object path for an image, given an image index. Note that this method can be slow if there are many objects in the file.
Whenever possible, prefer the methods that take directly an imageIndex instead of converting the imageIndex to an objectPath.
SetShapeLinkedCell Links the shape or image to a cell, if the shape can be linked. To unlink the cell, make linkedCell null.
Note that this method applies to shapes like a rectangle or a circle, or an image, not to the link of a forms object like a combobox or a radiobutton.
