ChartDirector 7.1 (.NET Edition)

Polar Vector Chart



This example demonstrates a polar vector chart.

A vector chart is like a scatter chart, but the symbols are arrows which can be of arbitrary lengths pointing to arbitrary directions. Thus each symbol in a vector chart is specified by 4 values - the radial and angular coordinates, and the length and the direction.

In ChartDirector, a polar vector layer is created using PolarChart.addVectorLayer.
