Polar Plot Types

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, Rotation, and ViewType properties.

You can have any of these types of Polar plots.

• Polar Point Charts
• Polar Line Charts
• Polar Area Charts
• Polar Stripe Charts
• Pie Charts

For details on the API, see the PolarPlotArea class.
