Polar Chart Properties (polarProperties)

Syntax: How to Specify Properties for Polar and Radar Charts

polarProperties: {
   straightGridLines: boolean,
   extrudeAxisLabels: boolean,
   drawAsArea: boolean},

where:

straightGridLines: boolean

Defines the grid line style. Valid values are:

true, which draws straight grid lines with yaxis: majorGrid.
false, which draws round grid lines with yaxis: majorGrid. The default value is false.

extrudeAxisLabels: boolean

Defines where to draw y-axis labels. Valid values are:

true, to draw y-axis labels extruded from the circular grid.
false, to draw y-axis labels within the circular grid. The default value is false.

drawAsArea: boolean

Applies to radar charts only. Valid values are:

true, to draw a circular area chart.
false, to draw a circular line chart. The default value is false.

Note:

A polar chart is a circular scatter chart.
Like scatter charts, a polar chart requires two values to draw each marker.
yaxis properties control the circular grid around polar chart markers. These properties also control the appearance of axis labels and gridlines.
xaxis properties control the appearance of labels and values on the x-axis (around the outside edge of the circular grid) and x-axis gridlines.

Example: Setting Polar Chart Properties

The following request generates a polar chart with the default properties. The major grid lines are dashed teal circular lines, and the series properties set the marker shapes, sizes, and colors:

GRAPH FILE WF_RETAIL_LITE
SUM DAYSDELAYED QUANTITY_SOLD
ACROSS TIME_MTH
ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT JSCHART
ON GRAPH SET EMBEDHEADING ON
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH POLAR
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
INCLUDE=IBFS:/FILE/IBI_HTML_DIR/javaassist/intl/EN/ENIADefault_combine.sty,$
*GRAPH_JS
legend: {visible: true},
polarProperties: {
   straightGridLines: false,
   extrudeAxisLabels: false     
},
yaxis: {
   majorGrid: {
   lineStyle: {width: 1,color: 'teal',dash: '2 2'},
   }
},
series: [ 
 {series: 0, color: 'lavender', marker:{size: 15, shape: 'circle', 
  border: {width: 1, color: 'purple'}}},
 {series: 1, color: 'cyan', marker:{size: 15, shape: 'circle', 
  border: {width: 1, color: 'green'}}}
]
*END
ENDSTYLE
END

The output is:

Changing straightGridLines to true, and extrudeAxisLabels to true, generates the following chart:

Example: Setting Radar Chart Properties

The following request generates a radar chart with the default properties:

GRAPH FILE WF_RETAIL_LITE
SUM AVE.COGS_US MDN.COGS_US 
BY PRODUCT_CATEGORY
ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT JSCHART
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH RADARL
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
INCLUDE=IBFS:/FILE/IBI_HTML_DIR/javaassist/intl/EN/ENIADefault_combine.sty,$
*GRAPH_JS
legend: {visible: true},
polarProperties: {
  straightGridLines: false,
   extrudeAxisLabels: false, 
   drawAsArea: false     
},
yaxis: {
   numberFormat: '##',
   majorGrid: {
      lineStyle: {width: 1,color: 'navy',dash: '2 2'},
      }
   },
series: [
   {series: 0, color: 'purple', border: {width: 2}},
   {series: 1, color: 'cyan', border: {width: 2}},
   {series: 2, color: 'grey', border: {width: 2}},
   {series: 3, color: 'teal', border: {width: 2}},
]
*END
ENDSTYLE
END

The output is:

Changing straightGridLines, extrudeAxisLabels, and drawAsArea to true generates the following chart:
