For details on the API, see the [RadarPlotArea](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Chart/FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarPlotArea.html) class. The following classes are also available when creating Radar plot type charts:

* point Chart
    [RadarPointSeries](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Chart/FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarPointSeries.html)
* Line Chart
    [RadarLineSeries](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Chart/FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarLineSeries.html)
* Area Chart
    [RadarAreaSeries](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Chart/FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarAreaSeries.html)

In addition, value axes such as ruler lines, memory, and scale labels are set using the following classes.

* [RadarIndexAxis](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Chart/FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarIndexAxis.html)
* [RadarValueAxis](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Chart/FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarValueAxis.html)

## Using Code

1. Create a [RadarPointSeries](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Chart/FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarPointSeries.html) object that represents the data series of the radar (marker) chart and add the data.
2. Create a [RadarPlotArea](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Chart/FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarPlotArea.html) object that represents the plot area and set its position and size.
3. Add a data series to the plot area.
4. Create labels and legend areas.
5. Create a [ChartModel](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-win/FarPoint.Win.Chart/FarPoint.Win.Chart.ChartModel.html) object and add plot areas, labels, and legend areas.
6. Assign a chart model to the chart.

## Example

The following example demonstrates creating a Radar chart.

```csharp
FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarPointSeries series0 = new FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarPointSeries();
series0.SeriesName = "Series 0";
series0.Values.Add(1.0);
series0.Values.Add(2.0);
series0.Values.Add(3.0);
series0.Values.Add(4.0);
series0.Values.Add(5.0);
FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarPointSeries series1 = new FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarPointSeries();
series1.SeriesName = "Series 1";
series1.Values.Add(2.0);
series1.Values.Add(3.0);
series1.Values.Add(4.0);
series1.Values.Add(5.0);
series1.Values.Add(6.0);
FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarPlotArea plotArea = new FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarPlotArea();
plotArea.Location = new PointF(0.2f, 0.2f);
plotArea.Size = new SizeF(0.6f, 0.6f);
plotArea.Series.Add(series0);
plotArea.Series.Add(series1);
FarPoint.Win.Chart.LabelArea label = new FarPoint.Win.Chart.LabelArea();
label.Text = "Radar Point Chart";
label.Location = new PointF(0.5f, 0.02f);
label.AlignmentX = 0.5f;
label.AlignmentY = 0.0f;
FarPoint.Win.Chart.LegendArea legend = new FarPoint.Win.Chart.LegendArea();
legend.Location = new PointF(0.98f, 0.5f);
legend.AlignmentX = 1.0f;
legend.AlignmentY = 0.5f;
FarPoint.Win.Chart.ChartModel model = new FarPoint.Win.Chart.ChartModel();
model.LabelAreas.Add(label);
model.LegendAreas.Add(legend);
model.PlotAreas.Add(plotArea);
chart2DControl1.Model = model;
```

```vbnet
Dim series0 As New FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarPointSeries()
series0.SeriesName = "Series 0"
series0.Values.Add(1.0)
series0.Values.Add(2.0)
series0.Values.Add(3.0)
series0.Values.Add(4.0)
series0.Values.Add(5.0)
Dim series1 As New FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarPointSeries()
series1.SeriesName = "Series 1"
series1.Values.Add(2.0)
series1.Values.Add(3.0)
series1.Values.Add(4.0)
series1.Values.Add(5.0)
series1.Values.Add(6.0)
Dim plotArea As New FarPoint.Win.Chart.RadarPlotArea()
plotArea.Location = New PointF(0.2F, 0.2F)
plotArea.Size = New SizeF(0.6F, 0.6F)
plotArea.Series.Add(series0)
plotArea.Series.Add(series1)
Dim label As New FarPoint.Win.Chart.LabelArea()
label.Text = "Radar Point Chart"
label.Location = New PointF(0.5F, 0.02F)
label.AlignmentX = 0.5F
label.AlignmentY = 0.0F
Dim legend As New FarPoint.Win.Chart.LegendArea()
legend.Location = New PointF(0.98F, 0.5F)
legend.AlignmentX = 1.0F
legend.AlignmentY = 0.5F
Dim model As New FarPoint.Win.Chart.ChartModel()
model.LabelAreas.Add(label)
model.LegendAreas.Add(legend)
model.PlotAreas.Add(plotArea)
Chart2DControl1.Model = model
```

## Using the Chart designer

1. Run **Chart Designer**.
2. Select the target **Chart Model** from the tree menu on the left.
3. Open the **Plot Area Collection Editor** from PlotAreas in the **Other** section of the property list on the right.
4. Click the drop-down button to the right of the **Add** button.
5. Select and add the **RadarPlotArea** and set each property as required.
