A Radar Area Series, also called a Spider Area, shows the magnitude of various datasets within shared categories, making it easier to gauge area-based trends.
Simple Radar Area
To create a Radar Area Series, use the radar-area
series type.
series: [
{ type: 'radar-area', angleKey: 'department', radiusKey: 'quality', radiusName: `Quality` },
{ type: 'radar-area', , angleKey: 'department', radiusKey: 'efficiency', radiusName: `Efficiency` },
],
In this configuration:
angleKey
is set to 'department', which is the shared category for the Angle Axis.radiusKey
specifies the numerical datasets, 'quality' and 'efficiency', for the Radius Axis.radiusName
labels each series, such as "Quality" and "Efficiency".
Customisation
Axis Shape
For Polar Axes, there are two shape options:
polygon
: Connected with straight lines (default).circle
: Composed of concentric circles.
To switch to the circle
shape, use the following axes
configuration:
axes: [
{ type: 'angle-category', shape: 'circle' },
{ type: 'radius-number', shape: 'circle' },
],
Axis Label Orientation
To change Angle Axis Label orientation, use the label.orientation
property with these options:
fixed
: Labels have fixed orientation (default).parallel
: Labels align parallel to the axis.perpendicular
: Labels align perpendicular to the axis.
The following configuration changes the orientation of the Axis Labels to parallel
:
axes: [
{
type: 'angle-category',
label: {
orientation: 'parallel',
},
},
{ type: 'radius-number' },
],
Radius Axis Position
Customise the Radius Axis Line position via positionAngle
and Axis Label rotation using label.rotation
:
axes: [
{ type: 'angle-category' },
{
type: 'radius-number',
positionAngle: 72,
label: {
rotation: -72,
},
},
],
