Polar chart

Back to Chart types.

Polar charts use polar coordinates (angle + radius) and are useful for cyclic patterns and radial comparisons.

Data format

• Typical shape: angle/category + radius/value
• Exact configuration depends on the preset (polar + angleAxis/radiusAxis)

Import and edit support

• Import: ❌
• Edit: ❌

Customize highlights

• Polar / Axes: angle axis and radius axis configuration
• Series: type-dependent styling (bar/line/scatter in polar)

Tips

• Use polar charts when the circular structure adds meaning (e.g. seasons, hours).
• If the radial layout doesn’t add clarity, use a standard cartesian chart instead.
