get_Categories()

ChartData::get_Categories() method

Gets the primary categories (or both primary and secondary categories if ChartData::set_UseSecondaryCategories is set to false). Read-only IChartCategoryCollection.

System::SharedPtr<IChartCategoryCollection> Aspose::Slides::Charts::ChartData::get_Categories() override

Remarks

If ChartData::set_UseSecondaryCategories is set to false then ChartData::get_SecondaryCategories returns null and data in ChartData::get_Categories is used both for primary and secondary series. If ChartData::set_UseSecondaryCategories is set to true then data in ChartData::get_SecondaryCategories is used for secondary series and data in ChartData::get_Categories is used for primary series.

Example. What categories are related to series - ChartData::get_Categories or ChartData::get_SecondaryCategories?

if (series->get_PlotOnSecondAxis() && series->get_Chart()->get_ChartData()->get_UseSecondaryCategories())
{
// related categories are series->get_Chart()->get_ChartData()->get_SecondaryCategories()
}
else
{
// related categories are series->get_Chart()->get_ChartData()->get_Categories()
}
