// Clear the chart's demo data series to start with a clean chart.
chart.Series.Clear();

// Insert a chart series with categories for the X-axis and respective numeric values for the Y-axis.
chart.Series.Add("Aspose Test Series",
    new[] { "Word", "PDF", "Excel", "GoogleDocs", "Note" },
    new double[] { 640, 320, 280, 120, 150 });

// such as their direction, major/minor unit ticks, and tick marks.
