Polar Area Chart ​

x-h-chart-polar-area draws a polar area chart from a single reactive configuration object. Every slice spans an equal angle and its value sets how far it reaches from the center. Charts inherit the active theme colors and adapt to light and dark mode automatically.

Usage ​

Give the chart a container with an explicit height (charts fill their parent). Provide the slices to draw, each with a label and a value. Use a polar area chart to compare magnitudes across categories in a compact circular layout. To show parts of a whole use a Pie Chart, and to compare categories along an axis use a Bar Chart.

tableLabels{ segment?, value? }English defaultsColumn headers of the hidden data table read by screen readers.

Colors ​

A slice color (and the palette entries) is one of the chart colors color-1 to color-12. They paint with the theme's --chart-color-1 to --chart-color-12 variables (see Theme Customization). By default, they map to blue, red, green, orange, purple, teal, pink, indigo, yellow, gray, white and black. The standard color names (red, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, indigo, purple, pink, gray, white and black) are deprecated. They still work but they will be removed in the next major version.

Accessibility ​

The chart is exposed to assistive technologies as a figure with a visually-hidden data table of its segments and values, so screen-reader users get the underlying numbers (the visual slices, rings, and legend are marked decorative). It defaults to the accessible name "Polar area chart". Set an aria-label attribute on the element to give it a more meaningful name.

Events ​

When tooltip is enabled, hovering and clicking slices emit bubbling CustomEvents on the chart element - chart-hover, chart-leave, and chart-click. See the events reference for the shared detail shape.
