Polar Bar Charts
|
Click the Home | New Graph | Polar | Polar Bar Chart command to display data as bars drawn from the center of an angle axis to a data value. If more than one variable is used (multiple R values for each A value), the bars can be stacked on top of one another or they can be adjacent to each other. When adjacent bars are used the values are plotted side by side. When stacked bars are used, the total length of the stacked bars is equal to the sum of the data values. Click the Polar Bar Chart button to create a polar bar chart. |
