A polar chart displays (X, Y) data items using polar coordinates. |
|
The polar chart is based on standard Plot and standard Renderer. It inherits all their properties.
This is what polar chart looks like:
Dataset
The category line chart supports Custom Data model only.
It has the following Source Data Bindings:
Binding |
Expected Value Type |
Description |
Series |
String |
Textual name of the data series. Data series is represented by a single-color line on the chart. |
Theta |
Number |
Data item angle in degrees. |
Radius |
Number |
Data item radius (distance from plot center) for the above series/angle. |
Common Properties
Width, Height, Bindings, Visible, Background, Border
Source Data and Source Data Bindings properties.
All properties of a Plot.
All properties of a Renderer.
Custom Properties
