    chart.ChartData.Categories.Add(wb.GetCell(0, 3, 0, "C"));

    chart.ChartData.Series.Add(wb.GetCell(0, 0, 1, "Open"), chart.Type);
    chart.ChartData.Series.Add(wb.GetCell(0, 0, 2, "High"), chart.Type);
    chart.ChartData.Series.Add(wb.GetCell(0, 0, 3, "Low"), chart.Type);
    chart.ChartData.Series.Add(wb.GetCell(0, 0, 4, "Close"), chart.Type);

    IChartSeries series = chart.ChartData.Series[0];

    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 1, 1, 72));
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 2, 1, 25));
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 3, 1, 38));

    series = chart.ChartData.Series[1];
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 1, 2, 172));
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 2, 2, 57));
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 3, 2, 57));

    series = chart.ChartData.Series[2];
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 1, 3, 12));
    series.DataPoints.AddDataPointForStockSeries(wb.GetCell(0, 2, 3, 12));

    chart.ChartData.SeriesGroups[0].UpDownBars.HasUpDownBars = true;
    chart.ChartData.SeriesGroups[0].HiLowLinesFormat.Line.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Solid;

    foreach (IChartSeries ser in chart.ChartData.Series)
    {
        ser.Format.Line.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.NoFill;
    }

    pres.Save("output.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

{
    ITable table = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.AddTable(50, 50, new double[] { 200, 200 }, new double[] { 50, 50, 50, 50 });
    table.StylePreset = TableStylePreset.LightStyle1Accent5;

    presentation.Save(path + "presentation-out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

Obsolete HeaderFooterManager class has been deleted

Obsolete HeaderFooterManager class has been deleted.

Please use class PresentationHeaderFooterManager or one of the corresponding classes MasterSlideHeaderFooterManager, LayoutSlideHeaderFooterManager, SlideHeaderFooterManager instead.
