Polar Area Chart in Chart.js
A polar area chart is similar to a pie chart, but each dataset has the same angle, and the radius of the lines varies according to the provided values.
The type attribute for a mixed chart is polarArea
.
const config = {
type: 'polarArea',
data: data,
options: {}
};
Next, we will create a simple polar area chart:
Example
const ctx = document.getElementById('myChart');
const data = {
labels: [
'Red',
'Green',
'Yellow',
'Grey',
'Blue'
],
datasets: [{
label: 'Polar Area Chart Example',
data: [11, 16, 7, 3, 14],
backgroundColor: [
'rgb(255, 99, 132)',
'rgb(75, 192, 192)',
'rgb(255, 205, 86)',
'rgb(201, 203, 207)',
'rgb(54, 162, 235)'
]
}]
};
const config = {
type: 'polarArea',
data: data,
options: {
responsive: true, // Set the chart to be responsive, changing according to the screen window
maintainAspectRatio: false, // Maintain the original aspect ratio of the chart
}
};
const myChart = new Chart(ctx, config);
The above example outputs the following result:
