A Polar Chart displays values around a circular axis. Each category is placed at equal angles, and the value is shown by its distance from the center. It is used to compare category-wise values using a radial layout instead of a standard X and Y axis.
¶ 1. How a Polar Chart Works
- Each category is positioned around the circle.
- The distance from the center represents the value.
- Higher values extend farther from the center.
- This layout supports quick comparison across categories in a single view.
