# Polar Area
|
|
|
|
Polar area charts are similar to pie charts, but each segment has the same angle - the radius of the segment differs depending on the value.
|
|
|
|
This type of chart is often useful when we want to show a comparison data similar to a pie chart, but also show a scale of values for context.
|
|
|
|
{% chartjs %}
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "polarArea",
|
|
"data": {
|
|
"labels": [
|
|
"Red",
|
|
"Green",
|
|
"Yellow",
|
|
"Grey",
|
|
"Blue"
|
|
],
|
|
"datasets": [{
|
|
"label": "My First Dataset",
|
|
"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)"
|
|
]
|
|
}]
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
{% endchartjs %}
|
|
|
|
## Example Usage
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
new Chart(ctx, {
|
|
data: data,
|
|
type: 'polarArea',
|
|
options: options
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Properties
|
|
|
|
The following options can be included in a polar area chart dataset to configure options for that specific dataset.
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description
|
|
| ---- | ---- | -----------
|
|
| `backgroundColor` | `Color[]` | The fill color of the arcs in the dataset. See [Colors](../general/colors.md#colors).
|
|
| `borderColor` | `Color[]` | The border color of the arcs in the dataset. See [Colors](../general/colors.md#colors).
|
|
| `borderWidth` | `Number[]` | The border width of the arcs in the dataset.
|
|
| `hoverBackgroundColor` | `Color[]` | The fill colour of the arcs when hovered.
|
|
| `hoverBorderColor` | `Color[]` | The stroke colour of the arcs when hovered.
|
|
| `hoverBorderWidth` | `Number[]` | The stroke width of the arcs when hovered.
|
|
|
|
## Config Options
|
|
|
|
These are the customisation options specific to Polar Area charts. These options are merged with the [global chart default options](#default-options), and form the options of the chart.
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Default | Description
|
|
| ---- | ---- | ------- | -----------
|
|
| `startAngle` | `Number` | `-0.5 * Math.PI` | Starting angle to draw arcs for the first item in a dataset.
|
|
| `animation.animateRotate` | `Boolean` | `true` | If true, the chart will animate in with a rotation animation. This property is in the `options.animation` object.
|
|
| `animation.animateScale` | `Boolean` | `true` | If true, will animate scaling the chart from the center outwards.
|
|
|
|
## Default Options
|
|
|
|
We can also change these defaults values for each PolarArea type that is created, this object is available at `Chart.defaults.polarArea`. Changing the global options only affects charts created after the change. Existing charts are not changed.
|
|
|
|
For example, to configure all new polar area charts with `animateScale = false` you would do:
|
|
```javascript
|
|
Chart.defaults.polarArea.animation.animateScale = false;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Data Structure
|
|
|
|
For a polar area chart, datasets need to contain an array of data points. The data points should be a number, Chart.js will total all of the numbers and calculate the relative proportion of each.
|
|
|
|
You also need to specify an array of labels so that tooltips appear correctly for each slice.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
data = {
|
|
datasets: [{
|
|
data: [10, 20, 30]
|
|
}],
|
|
|
|
// These labels appear in the legend and in the tooltips when hovering different arcs
|
|
labels: [
|
|
'Red',
|
|
'Yellow',
|
|
'Blue'
|
|
]
|
|
};
|
|
```
