Chart types with dedicated pages

Excel and PowerPoint share the same OOXML chart engine (c:chartSpace) and the same ChartHelper code. All type-specific properties, variants, data formats, and styling knobs documented on the Excel chart-type pages apply identically to PowerPoint charts.

• column / bar — gap width, overlap, bar shape, invert-if-negative, stacked/percent/3D variants
• line — smooth curves, dash patterns, markers (10 shapes), drop lines, high-low lines, up-down bars, data tables, reference lines, log scale, reversed axis, dual axis, 3D variant
• pie / doughnut — hole size, explosion, first slice angle, per-slice colors, percentage labels
• area — filled regions, stacked/percent/3D variants, gradient fill, transparency
• scatter — XY numeric axes, 5 scatter styles (marker, line, lineMarker, smooth, smoothMarker)
• bubble — bubble scale, size-represents (width/area), negative bubbles, XY + size data
• radar — polar grid, 3 radar styles (standard, filled, marker)
• stock — OHLC candlestick, high-low wicks, up/down bars, 3 or 4 series order
• combo — multi-type overlay (column + line), combo split, per-series type assignment, dual axis
• waterfall — bridge chart with increase/decrease/total colors, floating bar effect
• histogram — cx extended chart with binning

The only PowerPoint-specific difference is the outer container: charts are embedded in slide shapes (with x, y, width, height in EMU) rather than worksheet drawing anchors (column/row units).
