How to Create Doughnut Chart in PowerPoint in C#

A doughnut chart (also spelled donut) is a variant of the pie chart, with a blank center allowing for additional information about the data as a whole to be included. In this article, you will learn how to create a doughnut chart in PowerPoint using Spire.Presentation.

Step 1: Initialize an instance of Presentation class.

Presentation presentation = new Presentation();

Step 2: Insert a Doughnut chart in the first slide and set the chart title.

RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(40, 100, 550, 320);
IChart chart = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendChart(ChartType.Doughnut, rect, false);
chart.ChartTitle.TextProperties.Text = "Market share by country";
chart.ChartTitle.TextProperties.IsCentered = true;
chart.ChartTitle.Height = 30;

Step 3: Define the chart data.

string[] countries = new string[] { "Guba", "Mexico","France","German" };
int[] sales = new int[] { 1800, 3000, 5100, 6200 };
chart.ChartData[0, 0].Text = "Countries";
chart.ChartData[0, 1].Text = "Sales";
for (int i = 0; i < countries.Length; ++i)
{
    chart.ChartData[i + 1, 0].Value = countries[i];
    chart.ChartData[i + 1, 1].Value = sales[i];
}

Step 4: Set the data range of category labels, series label and series values.

chart.Series.SeriesLabel = chart.ChartData["B1", "B1"];
chart.Categories.CategoryLabels = chart.ChartData["A2", "A5"];
chart.Series[0].Values = chart.ChartData["B2", "B5"];

Step 5: Add data points to series and fill each data point with different color.

for (int i = 0; i < chart.Series[0].Values.Count; i++)
{
    ChartDataPoint cdp = new ChartDataPoint(chart.Series[0]);
    cdp.Index = i;
    chart.Series[0].DataPoints.Add(cdp);
}
chart.Series[0].DataPoints[0].Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.Solid;
chart.Series[0].DataPoints[0].Fill.SolidColor.Color = Color.LightBlue;
chart.Series[0].DataPoints[1].Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.Solid;
chart.Series[0].DataPoints[1].Fill.SolidColor.Color = Color.MediumPurple;
chart.Series[0].DataPoints[2].Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.Solid;
chart.Series[0].DataPoints[2].Fill.SolidColor.Color = Color.DarkGray;
chart.Series[0].DataPoints[3].Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.Solid;
chart.Series[0].DataPoints[3].Fill.SolidColor.Color = Color.DarkOrange;

Step 6: Display value and percentage in data labels.

chart.Series[0].DataLabels.LabelValueVisible = true;
chart.Series[0].DataLabels.PercentValueVisible = true;

Step 7: Adjust the hole size of doughnut chart.

chart.Series[0].DoughnutHoleSize = 60;

Step 8: Save the file.

presentation.SaveToFile("DoughnutChart.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013);
