Develop a Scatter Graph Creator - Java Charting Library

What We’re Aiming For#

This blog post will enable you to automate the creation of charts programmatically. We will try to make things fairly simple by writing a code snippet to develop a scatter graph creator in Java. Aspose.Slides for Java is a powerful yet lightweight Java API for creating and manipulating charts. Moreover, this high-level API offers a developer-friendly ecosystem compared to other competing APIs. So, let’s move on and get to the point.

Develop a Scatter Graph Creator – Code Snippet#

So, we are now writing the steps to follow:

Create an instance of the Presentation class.
Invoke the get_Item method to access the first slide.
Creating the default chart by calling the addChart method.
Call the getChartDataWorkbook method to get the chart data worksheet.
Add a new chart category by calling the add method.
Add a new point (1:3) by calling the addDataPointForScatterSeries method.
Set the type of series by calling the setType method.
Set the marker size in the chart by calling the setSize method.
Invoke the setSymbol method to set the marker style in the chart.
Save the output PPTX/PPT file on the disk by calling the save method.

Below is the code sample showing how to develop a scatter graph creator in Java programmatically:
