# Polar Plot Types

This topic lists the various polar plot types available in Spread for ASP.NET such as point charts, line charts, area charts, and stripe charts.

## Content



A polar plot area contains series that have values in two dimensions (angle and radius). When visualized in two dimensions, a polar plot area takes the form of a circle with a circular x-axis representing angle values and a radial y-axis representing radius values. When visualized in three dimensions, a polar plot area takes the form of a disk with a circular x-axis representing an angle value and a radial y-axis representing a radius value.

A polar series is displayed in a polar plot area. Points have value(s) in two dimensions: x (angle) and y (radius). If a polar plot area has multiple y-axes then a series can be assigned to a specific axis using the axis's ID. There are several subtypes of polar series: polar point, polar line, polar area, and polar stripe.

The following image shows a three dimensional polar point chart that was created by using the [Elevation](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-asp/FarPoint.Web.Chart/FarPoint.Web.Chart.PlotArea.Elevation.html), [Rotation](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-asp/FarPoint.Web.Chart/FarPoint.Web.Chart.PlotArea.Rotation.html), and [ViewType](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-asp/FarPoint.Web.Chart/FarPoint.Web.Chart.FpChart.ViewType.html) properties. The [Depth](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-asp/FarPoint.Web.Chart/FarPoint.Web.Chart.PlotArea.Depth.html) property in the plot area class was used to add depth to the point markers.
