Public API changes

Series resource

The new resource is a subresource of shape. It works only for Chart shapes and allows to add, modify & delete chart series.

Example 1 (Add series to a chart)

POST https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/slides/myPresentaion.pptx/slides/1/shapes/1/series?folder=myFolder

Request body:

{ "dataPointType": "OneValue", "dataPoints": [{ "value": 5.5 }, { "value": 76 }, { "value": 27 }] }

SDK Code:

SlidesApi api = new SlidesApi("MyAppSid", "MyAppKey");
OneValueSeries dto = new OneValueSeries();
dto.DataPoints = new List<OneValueChartDataPoint>();
dto.DataPoints.Add(new OneValueChartDataPoint { Value = 5.5 });
dto.DataPoints.Add(new OneValueChartDataPoint { Value = 76 });
dto.DataPoints.Add(new OneValueChartDataPoint { Value = 27 });
PostChartSeriesRequest request = new PostChartSeriesRequest
{
    Name = "myPresentaion.pptx",
    Folder = "myFolder",
    SlideIndex = 1,
    ShapeIndex = 1,
    Series = dto
};
Chart chart = api.PostChartSeries(request);
Console.WriteLine(chart.Series.Count);

Example 2 (Update chart series)

PUT https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/slides/myPresentaion.pptx/slides/1/shapes/1/series/2?folder=myFolder

Request body:

{ "dataPointType": "OneValue", "dataPoints": [{ "value": 5.5 }, { "value": 76 }, { "value": 27 }] }

SDK Code:

SlidesApi api = new SlidesApi("MyAppSid", "MyAppKey");
OneValueSeries dto = new OneValueSeries();
dto.DataPoints = new List<OneValueChartDataPoint>();
dto.DataPoints.Add(new OneValueChartDataPoint { Value = 5.5 });
dto.DataPoints.Add(new OneValueChartDataPoint { Value = 76 });
dto.DataPoints.Add(new OneValueChartDataPoint { Value = 27 });
PutChartSeriesRequest request = new PutChartSeriesRequest
{
    Name = "myPresentaion.pptx",
    Folder = "myFolder",
    SlideIndex = 1,
    ShapeIndex = 1,
    SeriesIndex = 2,
    Series = dto
};
Chart chart = api.PutChartSeries(request);
Console.WriteLine(((OneValueSeries)chart.Series[1]).DataPoints.Count);

Example 3 (Delete chart series)

DELETE https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/slides/myPresentaion.pptx/slides/1/shapes/1/series/2?folder=myFolder

SDK Code:

SlidesApi api = new SlidesApi("MyAppSid", "MyAppKey");
DeleteChartSeriesRequest request = new DeleteChartSeriesRequest
{
    Name = "myPresentaion.pptx",
    Folder = "myFolder",
    SlideIndex = 1,
    ShapeIndex = 1,
    SeriesIndex = 2
};
Chart chart = api.DeleteChartSeries(request);
Console.WriteLine(chart.Series.Count);

PortionList property

Paragraph class now has PortionList property which allows us to retrieve text and other properties for paragraph portions. Similarly, Portions class now has Items property of the same kind.
