# Word Charts Showcase This demo consists of four files that work together: - **charts.sh** — CLI script that calls `officecli` to build the document. Each chart is preceded by a `# Features:` comment listing the properties it exercises. - **charts.py** — Python SDK twin (`officecli-sdk`). One resident, all paragraphs and charts shipped over the named pipe in a single `doc.batch(...)`. - **charts.docx** — the generated document: 14 inline charts, each under its own heading. - **charts.md** — this file. Maps each chart to the features it demonstrates. ## How charts work in Word Unlike Excel (where a chart pulls a `dataRange` out of a worksheet grid), a Word chart is an **inline DrawingML object anchored on a paragraph**, and it carries its data **inline**: ```bash officecli add file.docx /body/p[N] --type chart \ --prop chartType=column \ --prop 'data=East:120,135,148;West:110,118,130' \ --prop categories="Q1,Q2,Q3" ``` Data can be given three ways (same as pptx/xlsx charts): - `data="Name1:1,2,3;Name2:4,5,6"` — inline shorthand, one series per `;` - `series1="Name:1,2,3"` / `series2=...` — one prop per series - `series1.name=` / `series1.values=` — dotted per-series keys Word has no worksheet to reference, so **inline data is idiomatic** — there is no `dataRange`. ### Addressing charts You **add** a chart at its host paragraph (`/body/p[N]`), but once created the chart is addressed **document-globally** as `/chart[M]` for `get` / `set` / `query` — *not* `/body/p[N]/chart[M]`: ```bash officecli add file.docx /body/p[4] --type chart --prop chartType=pie ... officecli query file.docx chart # lists /chart[1], /chart[2], ... officecli get file.docx '/chart[1]' # read one chart back officecli set file.docx '/chart[1]' --prop title="New Title" ``` ## Regenerate ```bash cd examples/word bash charts.sh # CLI # or: python3 charts.py # Python SDK twin # → charts.docx ``` ## Charts Each chart sits under a Heading2 paragraph naming its demo. Extended `cx:chart` types (funnel, treemap, waterfall) are supported alongside the classic DrawingML `c:chart` types. ### 1. Column — axis titles, scaling & gridlines ```bash officecli add charts.docx /body/p[N] --type chart \ --prop chartType=column \ --prop 'data=East:120,135,148,162;West:110,118,130,145;South:95,108,115,128' \ --prop categories="Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4" \ --prop colors=4472C4,ED7D31,70AD47 \ --prop catTitle=Quarter --prop axisTitle="Revenue (K)" \ --prop axisMin=0 --prop axisMax=200 --prop axisNumFmt="#,##0" \ --prop gridlines=D9D9D9:0.5:dot --prop legend=bottom \ --prop width=16cm --prop height=9cm ``` **Features:** `chartType=column`, `data`, `categories`, `colors`, `catTitle`, `axisTitle`, `axisMin`, `axisMax`, `axisNumFmt`, `gridlines`, `legend`, `width`/`height` ### 2. Bar — gap width & data labels ```bash officecli add charts.docx /body/p[N] --type chart \ --prop chartType=bar \ --prop 'data=Units:320,280,410,190,360' \ --prop categories="Laptop,Phone,Tablet,Watch,Buds" \ --prop gapwidth=80 \ --prop dataLabels=value --prop labelPos=outsideEnd \ --prop labelfont=9:333333:Calibri --prop legend=none ``` **Features:** `chartType=bar`, `gapwidth`, `dataLabels=value`, `labelPos`, `labelfont` (size:color:name) ### 3. Line — markers, smoothing & drop lines ```bash officecli add charts.docx /body/p[N] --type chart \ --prop chartType=line \ --prop 'data=2023:120,180,210,250,280,310;2024:150,220,260,300,340,380' \ --prop categories="Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun" \ --prop marker=circle:6 --prop smooth=true \ --prop droplines=808080:0.5 --prop linewidth=2 --prop legend=bottom ``` **Features:** `chartType=line`, `marker` (symbol:size:color), `smooth`, `droplines`, `linewidth` ### 4. Pie — percent labels & slice explosion ```bash officecli add charts.docx /body/p[N] --type chart \ --prop chartType=pie \ --prop 'data=Share:42,28,18,12' \ --prop categories="Alpha,Beta,Gamma,Other" \ --prop dataLabels=percent --prop explosion=8 \ --prop firstSliceAngle=90 --prop legend=right ``` **Features:** `chartType=pie`, `dataLabels=percent`, `explosion`, `firstSliceAngle`, `colors` ### 5. Area — gradient fill (areafill) `areafill` is a docx-specific shortcut: a solid color or gradient (`c1-c2[:angle]`) applied to every series shape. Readback surfaces as `gradient`. ```bash officecli add charts.docx /body/p[N] --type chart \ --prop chartType=area \ --prop 'data=Visits:20,35,30,55,48,70,65' \ --prop categories="Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun" \ --prop areafill=4472C4-A5C8FF:90 \ --prop gridlines=E0E0E0:0.5:solid --prop legend=none ``` **Features:** `chartType=area`, `areafill` (gradient), `gridlines` ### 6. Scatter — smoothMarker style ```bash officecli add charts.docx /body/p[N] --type chart \ --prop chartType=scatter \ --prop series1="Latency:12,18,27,41,60,88" \ --prop categories="10,20,40,80,160,320" \ --prop scatterstyle=smoothMarker --prop marker=diamond:7:C00000 \ --prop catTitle="Concurrent Users" --prop axisTitle="ms" ``` **Features:** `chartType=scatter`, `scatterstyle`, `marker`, `catTitle`, `axisTitle` ### 7. Radar — filled style (radarstyle) `radarstyle` is a docx-specific shortcut for the radar subtype (`standard`/`marker`/`filled`). ```bash officecli add charts.docx /body/p[N] --type chart \ --prop chartType=radar \ --prop 'data=Model A:4,5,3,4,5;Model B:5,3,4,5,3' \ --prop categories="Speed,Battery,Camera,Price,Display" \ --prop radarstyle=filled --prop colors=4472C4,ED7D31 \ --prop transparency=40 --prop legend=bottom ``` **Features:** `chartType=radar`, `radarstyle=filled`, `transparency`, `colors` ### 8. Doughnut — hole size & percent labels ```bash officecli add charts.docx /body/p[N] --type chart \ --prop chartType=doughnut \ --prop 'data=Budget:35,25,20,20' \ --prop categories="R&D,Sales,Ops,Admin" \ --prop holeSize=55 --prop dataLabels=percent --prop legend=right ``` **Features:** `chartType=doughnut`, `holeSize`, `dataLabels=percent`, `colors` ### 9. Stock — high / low / close series The three ordered series map to High, Low, Close. `hilowlines` connects the high/low extremes. ```bash officecli add charts.docx /body/p[N] --type chart \ --prop chartType=stock \ --prop series1="High:32,35,34,38,37" \ --prop series2="Low:28,29,30,32,33" \ --prop series3="Close:30,34,31,37,35" \ --prop categories="Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri" --prop hilowlines=true ``` **Features:** `chartType=stock`, ordered series, `hilowlines` ### 10.
