Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Shape shape = builder.InsertChart(ChartType.Pie, 500, 350);
Chart chart = shape.Chart;

Assert.AreEqual(1, chart.Series.Count);
Assert.AreEqual("Sales", chart.Series[0].Name);

// "Slices" of a pie chart may be moved away from the center by a distance via the respective data point's Explosion attribute.
// Add a data point to the first portion of the pie chart and move it away from the center by 10 points.
// Aspose.Words create data points automatically if them does not exist.
ChartDataPoint dataPoint = chart.Series[0].DataPoints[0];
dataPoint.Explosion = 10;

// Displace the second portion by a greater distance.
dataPoint = chart.Series[0].DataPoints[1];
dataPoint.Explosion = 40;
