Create Excel Charts and Embed Them in Presentations as OLE Objects

// Step - 1: Create an Excel chart using Aspose.Cells.
// ---------------------------------------------------
// Create a workbook.
intrusive_ptr<Aspose::Cells::IWorkbook> workbook = Aspose::Cells::Factory::CreateIWorkbook();
// Add an Excel chart.
int32_t chartRows = 55;
int32_t chartCols = 25;
int32_t chartSheetIndex = AddExcelChartInWorkbook(workbook, chartRows, chartCols);

// Step - 2: Set the OLE size of the chart using Aspose.Cells.
// -----------------------------------------------------------
workbook->GetIWorksheets()->SetOleSize(0, chartRows, 0, chartCols);

// Step - 3: Get the image of the chart with Aspose.Cells.
// -------------------------------------------------------
System::SharedPtr<System::Drawing::Bitmap> chartImage = workbook->GetIWorksheets()->GetObjectByIndex(chartSheetIndex)->GetICharts()->GetObjectByIndex(0)->ToImage();
// Save the workbook to a stream.
System::SharedPtr<System::IO::MemoryStream> workbookStream = ToSlidesMemoryStream(workbook->SaveToStream());

// Step - 4 AND 5
// ==============
// Step - 4: Embed the chart as an OLE object inside a .ppt presentation using Aspose.Slides.
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Step - 5: Replace the "EMBEDDED OLE OBJECT" image with the image obtained in step 3 to address Object Preview Issue.
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Create a presentation.
System::SharedPtr<Presentation> presentation = System::MakeObject<Presentation>();
System::SharedPtr<ISlide> slide = presentation->get_Slide(0);
// Add the workbook to the slide.
AddExcelChartInPresentation(presentation, slide, workbookStream, chartImage);

// Step - 6: Save the output presentation to disk.
// -----------------------------------------------
presentation->Save(u"OutputChart.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);
presentation->Dispose();
