WS Polar Chart

The WS Polar Chart Widget is used to visualize data values on a circular grid. It’s ideal for comparing multiple categories with equal importance, especially in cases where relationships are more radial than linear.

Step 1: Add the Widget

Open the Widget Panel, go to the Charts & Tables section, and drag the WS Polar Chart Widget onto your page.

Step 2: Connect to Data Model

With the WS Polar Chart selected, open the Property Editor and choose a Data Model containing both categories (angles around the circle) and numerical values (distance from center).

Step 3: Configure Row (Categories)

Set up the Row, which defines categories displayed around the circle (e.g., product, month, department).

Step 4: Add and Configure Datasets

Under Datasets, specify the numerical data to represent as radii from the center.

• Column: Pick a numerical field (e.g., revenue, score).

• Summarize By: Select aggregation (sum, average, etc.).

Multiple datasets will appear as multiple shapes overlapping in the circular grid.

Step 5: Preview and Interact

Switch to Run Mode to preview. Hover over points or edges for tooltips and compare category values radially.
