This is the example taken from the AXSLX homepage:
Axlsx::Package.new do |p|
p.workbook.add_worksheet(:name => "Pie Chart") do |sheet|
sheet.add_row ["Simple Pie Chart"]
%w(first second third).each { |label| sheet.add_row [label, rand(24)+1] }
sheet.add_chart(Axlsx::Pie3DChart, :start_at => [0,5], :end_at => [10, 20], :title => "example 3: Pie Chart") do |chart|
chart.add_series :data => sheet["B2:B4"], :labels => sheet["A2:A4"], :colors => ['FF0000', '00FF00', '0000FF']
end
end
p.serialize('simple.xlsx')
end
Do file is created from the serialize()
call. The filename you specifiy there is relative to the working directory. This you can find with Dir.pwd
