ChartDirector 7.1 (C++ Edition)

Stacked Rose Chart




This example demonstrates how to create a stacked rose chart.

This example employs the same approach as the previous Simple Rose Chart example. It creates a PolarChart object as the graph paper, and adding sector zones on it using AngularAxis.addZone. A transparent line layer is used for enabling auto-scaling.

In this example, multiple sectors are added for each angular direction, creating a "stacked" effect.
