Option to Set Show Data Table through code

[akashkarpe]

Hi ,
Thanks for creating this library.
It would be nice if we have option set Show Data Table flag ,so that when I open PPT I can see graph with Data Table.

Hi @akashkarpe ,

I'm not clear on what you're asking for. Viewing the data behind a table is done via the Ribbon (see below - "Edit Data in Excel"), i'm not sure there's something i can set that will open/show the data.

Hi @gitbrent , thanks for quick reply.
I understood your point.
But our need is different .
We want Data Table Property in CHART ELEMENT by default checked or we should able to set it from code. Please see following screenshot

We are expecting output like below when user open's PPT for first time.

Hi @akashkarpe ,

The ability to show Data Table has been implemented. I also added the same 4 Data Table options found in PowerPoint.

Check the README for all the new chart options

Ex:

var pptx = new PptxGenJS();
var slide = pptx.addNewSlide();

var arrDataRegions = [
  {
    name  : 'Region 1',
    labels: ['May', 'June', 'July', 'August'],
    values: [26, 53, 100, 75]
  },
  {
    name  : 'Region 2',
    labels: ['May', 'June', 'July', 'August'],
    values: [43.5, 70.3, 90.1, 80.05]
  }
];

var optsChartBar1 = { x:0.5, y:0.6, w:6.0, h:3.0,
  barDir:                  'bar',
  showDataTable:           true,
  showDataTableKeys:       true,
  showDataTableHorzBorder: true,
  showDataTableVertBorder: true,
  showDataTableOutline:    true
};
slide.addChart( pptx.charts.BAR, arrDataRegions, optsChartBar1 );

pptx.save('PptxGenJS-Data Table');

Result:

@gitbrent ,Thanks a lot, this will definitely solve our problem.
