How to create / add pie chart in PowerPoint Presentation Slide in .NET using Aspose.Slides REST API

Hi, I’m using Apose.Slides Cloud API to create PowerPoints with many types of charts.

I was wondering if any in-depth, step-by-step documentation or tutorials exist to create Pie Charts using the Cloud API? I can can see a Chart class that I can create and set up, but I’m not sure how to fill its Series properties, and how to send the pie chart via the REST API method that are available.

// Get Client ID and Secret from https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/
SlidesApi slidesApi = new SlidesApi(Myid, MyKey);
Aspose.Slides.Cloud.Sdk.Model.Chart dto = new Aspose.Slides.Cloud.Sdk.Model.Chart();
dto.ChartType = Aspose.Slides.Cloud.Sdk.Model.Chart.ChartTypeEnum.Pie;
dto.X = 100;
dto.Y = 100;
dto.Width = 400;
dto.Height = 400;
dto.Title = new ChartTitle { HasTitle = true, Text = "Pie Chart" };

dto.Categories = new System.Collections.Generic.List<ChartCategory>();
dto.Categories.Add(new ChartCategory { Value = "First" });
dto.Categories.Add(new ChartCategory { Value = "Second" });
dto.Categories.Add(new ChartCategory { Value = "Third" });

OneValueSeries series = new OneValueSeries();
series.IsColorVaried = true;
series.DataPoints = new System.Collections.Generic.List<OneValueChartDataPoint>();
series.DataPoints.Add(new OneValueChartDataPoint { Value = 20 });
series.DataPoints.Add(new OneValueChartDataPoint { Value = 50 });
series.DataPoints.Add(new OneValueChartDataPoint { Value = 30 });
dto.Series = new System.Collections.Generic.List<Series>();
dto.Series.Add(series);

slidesApi.CreateShape("TestText.pptx", 2, dto);
