Creating a Radar Plot

You can create a radar plot chart using code or the designer. The following image shows a Radar point type chart.

Radar Plot Chart

For details on the API, see the RadarPlotArea class.

The following classes are also available:

Using Code

Use the RadarPointSeries class to add data to a Chart control.
Use the RadarPlotArea class to create the plot area.
Set the location and size of the plot area.
Add the series to the plot area.
Create a label and legend for the chart.
Create a chart model and add the plot area, label, and legend to the model.
Create a chart and add the chart model to it.
Add the chart to the Spread control.

Example

The following example demonstrates using unbound data to create a Radar chart.

Using the Chart Designer

Select the PlotArea Collection editor.
Click the drop-down button on the right side of the Add button (lower, left side of dialog).
Select the RadarPlotArea option and set properties as needed.
Select Apply and OK to close the Chart Designer.
