Polar Class Scatter Plot

Click the Home | New Graph | Polar | Polar Class Scatter Plot command to create a polar class scatter plot. A polar class scatter plot is a scatter plot with symbols that mark the intersection of X (Radius Axis) and Y (Angle Axis) coordinates based on a required third value (Class column). Class scatter plots group data into discrete classes (bins). The data points are displayed using the symbol assigned to the class. Class scatter plots include a legend by default. Click the Polar Class Scatter Plot button to create a polar class plot.

The location of each of the 2D class scatter plot's XY data points is based on the Class value.
