ChartDirector 7.0 (PHP Edition)

Circular Zones




This example demonstrates adding circular zones to a polar chart.

In ChartDirector, a zone defined on the radial axis will mark a radius range, and so will appear as ring on a polar chart.

This example contains three circular zones in the plot area background, colored as red, green and blue. The blue region is the original background of the plot area, while the red and green regions are added using Axis.addZone of the radial axis object.
