Polar in Blazor Charts Component
13 Sep 202424 minutes to read
Polar
Polar Chart series visualizes data in terms of values and angles. It provides options for visual comparison between several quantitative or qualitative aspects of a situation. To render a polar series in your chart, Define the series Type as Polar in your chart configuration. This indicates that the data should be represented as a polar chart, which is ideal for plotting data points on a circular graph.

@code {
public class ChartData
{
public double X { get; set; }
public double Y { get; set; }
}
public List<ChartData> SalesReports = new List<ChartData>
{
new ChartData{ X= 2005, Y= 28 },
new ChartData{ X= 2006, Y= 25 },
new ChartData{ X= 2007, Y= 26 },
new ChartData{ X= 2008, Y= 27 },
new ChartData{ X= 2009, Y= 32 },

};
}

Binding data with series
You can bind data to the chart using the DataSource property within the series configuration. The DataSource value can be set using either SfDataManager property values or a list of business objects. More information on data binding can be found here. To display the data correctly, map the fields from the data to the chart series’ XName and YName properties.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
<SfChart>
<ChartSeriesCollection>
<ChartSeries DataSource="@SalesReports" XName="X" Width="2" YName="Y"
Type="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ChartSeriesType.Polar">
</ChartSeries>
</ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>
@code {
public class ChartData
{
public double X { get; set; }
public double Y { get; set; }
}
public List<ChartData> SalesReports = new List<ChartData>
{
new ChartData{ X= 2005, Y= 28 },
new ChartData{ X= 2006, Y= 25 },
new ChartData{ X= 2007, Y= 26 },
new ChartData{ X= 2008, Y= 27 },
new ChartData{ X= 2009, Y= 32 },
new ChartData{ X= 2010, Y= 35 },
new ChartData{ X= 2011, Y= 30 }
};
}Draw types
To change the series plotting type to Line, Column, Area, RangeColumn, Spline, Scatter, StackingArea, and StackingColumn, use the Polar’s DrawType property. DrawType is set to Line by default.
Line
To render a line series in Polar Chart, specify the DrawType property to Line. IsClosed property specifies whether to join start and end point of a line series used in Polar Chart to form a closed path. The default value of IsClosed property is true.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts

<ChartSeries DataSource="@SalesReports" XName="X" Width="2" YName="Y"
Type="ChartSeriesType.Polar" DrawType="ChartDrawType.Line">
<ChartMarker Height="10" Width="10" Visible="true" Shape="ChartShape.Pentagon"></ChartMarker>
</ChartSeries>
</ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>
@code{
public class ChartData

}Spline
To render a spline draw type, Define the series DrawType as Spline in your chart configuration. This indicates that the data should be represented as a polar spline chart, with smooth, curved lines connecting each data point.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
