adaptiveLayout

Specifies adaptive layout properties.

Type:

Object

The adaptive layout enables the UI component to hide optional elements if they do not fit in the container. Elements are hidden in the following sequence:

  1. Title
  2. Export menu icon
  3. Legend
  4. Argument axis labels
  5. Point labels (can be saved by setting the adaptiveLayout.keepLabels property to true)

Use the height and width properties in the adaptiveLayout object to specify the minimum container size at which the layout begins to adapt.

animation

Specifies animation properties.

Type:

Object

|

Boolean

The UI component animates its elements at the beginning of its lifetime and when the data source changes.

annotations[]

Specifies the annotation collection.

Annotations are images and text blocks that provide additional information about the visualized data.

DevExtreme PolarChart: Annotations
To configure annotations, assign an array of objects to the annotations[] property. Each object should have the type field set to "text" or "image". Depending on the type, specify the annotation's text or image property:

jQuery
index.js
$(function() {
    $("#polarChart").dxPolarChart({
        annotations: [{
            type: "text",
            text: "Annotation text"
        }, {
            type: "image",

            <PolarChart ... >
                <Annotation
                    type="text"

        );
    }
}

export default App;

Annotations can be anchored to a PolarChart element. To do this, use the argument, value or series properties, depending on the element you want to anchor the annotation to.

To define the position of an unanchored annotation, set the pixel coordinates (x and y) or use angle and radius properties.

  • Unanchored annotation

    annotations: [{
        x: 100,
        y: 200
    }, {
        angle: 45,
        radius: 100
    }]
  • Annotation anchored to a polar chart coordinate

    annotations: [{
        argument: new Date(2019, 1, 16),
        value: 15
    }]
  • Annotation anchored to a series or series point

    annotations: [{
        argument: new Date(2019, 1, 16),
        series: "Series 1"
    }]
  • Annotation displayed on an axis

    annotations: [{ 
        // An annotation on the argument axis 
        argument: new Date(2019, 1, 16)
    }, { 
        // An annotation on the value axis 
        value: 15
    }]
  • Mixed anchoring (pixel and chart coordinates used simultaneously)

    annotations: [{
        argument: new Date(2019, 1, 16),
        y: 200
    }]

When a user long-presses an annotation or hovers the mouse pointer over it, the PolarChart displays a tooltip.

Objects in the annotations[] array configure individual annotations. To specify properties common for all annotations, use the commonAnnotationSettings object. Individual settings take precedence over common settings.

argumentAxis

Specifies argument axis properties for the PolarChart UI component.

Type:

Object

For charting, the polar coordinate system is used to determine each point uniquely on a plane through two numbers, the argument and the value of the point. A circular and straight lines (the axis of arguments and the axis of values) are specified to define the coordinates. To define the argument axis, use the argumentAxis configuration object. To define the value axis, use the valueAxis configuration object. To set the properties of all axes to a common value, use the commonAxisSettings configuration object. This object exposes the properties that can be specified for all axes simultaneously. Note that the value specified for an axis individually (in the argumentAxis or valueAxis object) overrides the value specified in the commonAxisSettings object.

barGroupPadding

Controls the padding and consequently the angular width of a group of bars with the same argument using relative units. Ignored if the barGroupWidth property is set.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 0.3
This member is exposed by the following entities:

This property accepts a value from 0 to 1 that specifies the correlation between the empty space on a bar group's sides and the group's angular width: 0 - the bar group occupies the whole allocated sector; 1 - virtually hides the bar group leaving the whole sector empty.

See Also

barGroupWidth

Specifies a fixed angular width for groups of bars with the same argument, measured in degrees. Takes precedence over the barGroupPadding property.

Type:

Number

Default Value: undefined
This member is exposed by the following entities:

A bar's maximum width is limited. In single-series charts, it cannot be greater than the interval between two major ticks. In multi-series charts, it depends on the number of bars in the parent group and this group's actual width. See the Specify the Bar Width article for more information.

See Also

barWidth Deprecated

Use the barPadding property instead.

Specifies a common bar width as a percentage from 0 to 1.

Type:

Number

Works only if the equalBarWidth property is set to true.

commonAnnotationSettings

Specifies settings common for all annotations in the PolarChart.

Type:

Object

Settings specified here can be ignored in favor of individual annotation settings specified in the annotations[] array. Refer to the array's description for information on how to configure annotations.

The following code shows the commonAnnotationSettings declaration syntax:

jQuery
index.js
$(function() {
    $("#polarChart").dxPolarChart({
        // ...
        commonAnnotationSettings: {

commonAxisSettings

An object defining the configuration properties that are common for all axes of the PolarChart UI component.

Type:

Object

Use this object's properties to set the properties for all chart axes at once. The property values will be applied to the argument axis and all values axes, which are defined in the valueAxis array. To set a common axis property for an axis individually, use the corresponding valueAxis or argumentAxis object. Values that are set individually override their corresponding common values.

commonSeriesSettings

An object defining the configuration properties that are common for all series of the PolarChart UI component.

Type:

Object

Use this object's properties to set properties for all chart series at once. These can be properties common to all series types and properties specific to series types.

If you have several series of one type, you can set properties to the values specific to this series type using the corresponding object (area, line or another) within the commonSeriesSettings configuration object. The values that are set within type-specific configuration objects override the corresponding common values.

In case you have to set an property for an individual series, use the corresponding series object within the series array. The values that are set individually override the corresponding common values.

containerBackgroundColor

Specifies the color of the parent page element.

Type:

String

Default Value: '#FFFFFF'

If you set this property to the color of the parent page element, certain chart elements will use this color to coordinate with the page. For example, hovered points in the PolarChart UI component are painted in the color that is set to this property, but you can change this color to a custom color (see color).

customizeAnnotation

Customizes an individual annotation.

Type:

Function

Function parameters:
annotation:

PolarChart Annotation

| any

The annotation before customizations.

Return Value:

PolarChart Annotation

The annotation after customizations.

Default Value: undefined
Cannot be used in themes.

The following code shows how to use the customizeAnnotation function to apply different settings to text and image annotations:

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#polarChart").dxPolarChart({
        // ...
        customizeAnnotation: function(annotationItem) {
            if(annotationItem.text) {

customizeLabel

Customizes the appearance of an individual point label.

Type:

Function

Function parameters:
pointInfo:

Object

Information on the series point.

Return Value:

Point Label

The label's configuration.

All point labels in a chart are identical by default, but you can specify a unique appearance for individual labels using the customizeLabel function. This function should return an object with properties that will be changed for a certain label. See the label object for information about all properties available for changing.

The customizeLabel function accepts an object providing information about the series point that the label belongs to. This object contains the following fields.

Field Description
argument The argument of the series point.
value The value of the series point.
tag The tag of the series point.
series The series that includes the series point.
index The index of the series point in the points array.
data An object that contains the series point data.

customizePoint

Customizes the appearance of an individual series point.

Type:

Function

Function parameters:
pointInfo:

Object

Information on the series point.

Return Value:

Point Configuration

The point's configuration.

By default, all series points in a chart are identical, but you can specify a unique appearance for individual points using the customizePoint function. This function should return an object with properties that will be changed for a certain point. See the point object for information about all properties available for changing.

NOTE
The hoverMode and selectionMode properties cannot be changed using the customizePoint function, because they do not have anything to do with the appearance of series points.

The customizePoint function accepts an object providing information about the series point. This object contains the following fields.

Field Description
argument The argument of the series point.
value The value of the series point.
tag The tag of the series point.
seriesName The name of the series that includes the series point.
index The index of the series point in the points array.
data An object that contains the series point data.

dataPrepareSettings

An object providing properties for managing data from a data source.

Type:

Object

When values from a data source are of a different type, they may be displayed incorrectly on a chart. To resolve this situation, use the properties provided by the dataPrepareSettings configuration object. You can enable/disable data validation using the checkTypeForAllData property, or specify whether or not to convert the data source values to the type of the axis using the convertToAxisDataType property. In addition, you can sort the series points using the sortingMethod property.

dataSource

Binds the UI component to data.

Cannot be used in themes.

If you use DevExtreme ASP.NET MVC Controls, refer to the Bind Controls to Data article.

The PolarChart works with collections of objects.

Depending on your data source, bind the PolarChart to data as follows.

  • Data Array
    Assign the array to the dataSource property. View Demo

  • Read-Only Data in JSON Format
    Set the dataSource property to the URL of a JSON file or service that returns JSON data. View Demo

  • OData
    Implement an ODataStore.

  • Web API, PHP, MongoDB
    Use one of the following extensions to enable the server to process data according to the protocol DevExtreme UI components use:

    Then, use the createStore method to configure access to the server on the client as shown below. This method is part of DevExtreme.AspNet.Data.

  • Any other data source
    Implement a CustomStore.

Regardless of the data source on the input, the PolarChart always wraps it in the DataSource object. This object allows you to sort, filter, group, and perform other data shaping operations. To get its instance, call the getDataSource() method.

After providing data, bind series to it.

NOTE

Review the following notes about data binding:

  • If you wrap the store into the DataSource object explicitly, set the paginate property to false to prevent data from partitioning.

  • Data field names cannot be equal to this and should not contain the following characters: ., :, [, and ].

  • The stores and DataSource have methods to process and update data. However, the methods do not allow you to perform particular tasks (for example, replace the entire dataset, reconfigure data access at runtime). For such tasks, create a new array, store, or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource property as shown in the articles about changing properties in jQuery, Angular, React, and Vue.

equalBarWidth Deprecated

Use the ignoreEmptyPoints property instead.

Specifies whether or not all bars in a series must have the same angle, or may have different angles if any points in other series are missing.

Type:

Boolean

If some values for a series are set to zero or not specified, bars that represent these values will be missing from the chart. To fill the empty area by extending the angle of the neighboring bars, set the equalBarWidth property to false. The bars will have different angles, but there will be no empty areas.

To set a custom angle for bars, as well as the spacing between bars, use the barWidth property.

If the UI component's container is not large enough to contain bars of the specified width along with the specified spacing between them, the spacing will be ignored.

export

Configures the exporting and printing features.

Type:

Object

These features allow a user to export your UI component into a document or print it. When exporting is enabled, the "Exporting/Printing" button appears in the UI component. A click on it invokes a drop-down menu that lists exporting and printing commands. The following formats are supported for exporting into: PNG, PDF, JPEG, SVG and GIF.

See Also

legend

Specifies the properties of a chart's legend.

Type:

Object

The PolarChart UI component can include a legend - an explanatory component that helps you identify a series. Each series is represented by an item on a Legend. An item marker identifies the series color. An item label displays the series title. To set the required position for a legend and its items, to customize the font settings for item labels, and to specify the size of item markers, use the properties of the legend configuration object. To learn more on the legend and its properties, refer to the Legend topic.

loadingIndicator

Configures the loading indicator.

Type:

Object

When the UI component is bound to a remote data source, it can display a loading indicator while data is loading.

DevExtreme Charts - Loading indicator

To enable the automatic loading indicator, set the enabled property to true.

If you want to change the loading indicator's visibility, use the show property or the showLoadingIndicator() and hideLoadingIndicator() methods.

margin

Generates space around the UI component.

|

String

Default Value: 'Material'
Accepted Values: 'Bright' | 'Harmony Light' | 'Ocean' | 'Pastel' | 'Soft' | 'Soft Pastel' | 'Vintage' | 'Violet' | 'Carmine' | 'Dark Moon' | 'Dark Violet' | 'Green Mist' | 'Soft Blue' | 'Material' | 'Office'

This property accepts either the name of a predefined palette or an array of colors. The array can include the following colors:

Use the VizPalette enum to specify this property when the UI component is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: Default, SoftPastel, HarmonyLight, Pastel, Bright, Soft, Ocean, Vintage, Violet, Carmine, DarkMoon, SoftBlue, DarkViolet, and GreenMist.

See Also

paletteExtensionMode

Specifies what to do with colors in the palette when their number is less than the number of series (in the Chart UI component) or points in a series (in the PieChart UI component).

Type:

String

Default Value: 'blend'
Accepted Values: 'alternate' | 'blend' | 'extrapolate'

The following variants are available:

  • "blend"
    Create a blend of two neighboring colors and insert it between these colors in the palette.

  • "alternate"
    Repeat the full set of palette colors, alternating their normal, lightened, and darkened shades in that order.

  • "extrapolate"
    Repeat the full set of palette colors, changing their shade gradually from dark to light.

View Demo

Use the VizPaletteExtensionMode enum to specify this property when the UI component is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: Blend, Alternate, and Extrapolate.

pathModified

Notifies the UI component that it is embedded into an HTML page that uses a tag modifying the path.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false
Cannot be used in themes.

If you place the UI component on a page that uses a tag modifying the path (<base>, <iframe>, etc.), some of the UI component elements may get mixed up or disappear. To solve this problem, set the pathModified property to true.

See Also

pointSelectionMode

Specifies whether a single point or multiple points can be selected in the chart.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'single'
Accepted Values: 'multiple' | 'single'

To set the points to highlight along with the selected point, set the series.point.selectionMode property.

To learn how to select a point, refer to the Selection Handling topic.

Use the ChartElementSelectionMode enum to specify this property when the UI component is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: Single and Multiple.

Multiple Point Selection Demo API - Select a Point Demo

redrawOnResize

Specifies whether to redraw the UI component when the size of the parent browser window changes or a mobile device rotates.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true
Cannot be used in themes.

When this property is set to true, the UI component will be redrawn automatically in case the size of its parent window changes.

NOTE
To redraw the UI component after the size of its container has changed, call the render() method of the UI component's instance.

resolveLabelOverlapping

Specifies how the chart must behave when series point labels overlap.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'none'
Accepted Values: 'hide' | 'none'

Series point labels display series point values. If your chart contains several series with a large number of points in each, point labels may overlap. In this case, specify how the chart must resolve overlapping using the resolveLabelOverlapping property. To hide certain labels, set this property to 'hide'. Labels to be hidden will be determined automatically.

Use the PolarChartResolveLabelOverlapping enum to specify this property when the UI component is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: None and Hide.

rtlEnabled

Switches the UI component to a right-to-left representation.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false
Cannot be used in themes.

When this property is set to true, the UI component text flows from right to left, and the layout of elements is reversed. To switch the entire application/site to the right-to-left representation, assign true to the rtlEnabled field of the object passed to the DevExpress.config(config) method.

JavaScript
DevExpress.config({
    rtlEnabled: true
});
NOTE
In a right-to-left representation, SVG elements have the direction attribute with the rtl value. This might cause problems when rendering left-to-right texts. Use this property if you have only right-to-left texts.

series

Specifies properties for PolarChart UI component series.

Default Value: undefined
Cannot be used in themes.

A series represents a grouping of related data points. The most important characteristic of a series is its type, which determines a particular visual representation of data. You can find more details on each series type in the corresponding topics in the Series help section.

To define a single series, assign an object defining the series to the series configuration object. In the series' object, specify the series type, data source fields, the appearance of the series points and other properties.

To show several series, specify series as an array of objects defining series. If you need to set similar values to properties of several series, use the commonSeriesSettings configuration object. It exposes the properties that can be specified for all series at once and for all series of a particular type at once. Note that the values specified for a series individually (in the series array) override the values that are specified for all series (in the commonSeriesSettings object).

NOTE
This property is necessary. If you do not need to specify any of the properties within the series object (e.g., when you have specified them within the commonSeriesSettings object), assign at least an empty object to the series field.

seriesSelectionMode

Specifies whether a single series or multiple series can be selected in the chart.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'single'
Accepted Values: 'multiple' | 'single'

To set the series elements to highlight when a series is selected, set the series selectionMode property.

To learn how to select a point, refer to the Selection Handling topic.

Use the ChartElementSelectionMode enum to specify this property when the UI component is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: Single and Multiple.

seriesTemplate

Defines properties for the series template.

Type:

Object

Default Value: undefined
Cannot be used in themes.

In most cases, you can organize the array that is assigned to the chart's dataSource property in the following way.

[
    {arg: arg1Value, series1Value: val11, series2Value: val12, ...}
    {arg: arg2Value, series1Value: val21, series2Value: val22, ...}
    ...
    {arg: argNValue, series1Value: valN1, series2Value: valN2, ...}
]

Each object that is included in the array represents an argument value and the values of all series for this argument.

However, there are some scenarios in which you do not know exactly how many series will be added. In these cases, you will not be able to define the data source in the manner detailed above. Instead, define it in the following way.

[
    {seriesName: series1, arg: arg11Value, val: value11 }
    {seriesName: series1, arg: arg12Value, val: value12 }
    ...
    {seriesName: seriesM, arg: argM1Value, val: valueM1 }
    {seriesName: seriesM, arg: argM2Value, val: valueM2 }
    ...
]

If you define a data source in this manner, set the argument and value fields using the argumentField and valueField properties of the commonSeriesSettings configuration object (for all series at once). Then, define a template for the series using the seriesTemplate configuration object. Within this object, set the data source field that specifies the series name to the nameField property.

If you need to specify individual values for properties of a particular series, assign a callback function to the customizeSeries property of the seriesTemplate object.

size

Specifies the UI component's size in pixels.

Type:

Object

Default Value: undefined

The UI component occupies its container's entire area by default. Use the size object to specify the UI component's size if it should be different from that of its container. Assign 0 to size object's height and width properties to hide the UI component.

theme

Sets the name of the theme the UI component uses.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'generic.light'
Accepted Values: 'generic.dark' | 'generic.light' | 'generic.contrast' | 'generic.carmine' | 'generic.darkmoon' | 'generic.darkviolet' | 'generic.greenmist' | 'generic.softblue' | 'material.blue.light' | 'material.lime.light' | 'material.orange.light' | 'material.purple.light' | 'material.teal.light'

A theme is a UI component configuration that gives the UI component a distinctive appearance. Use can use one of the predefined themes or create a custom one. Changing the property values in the UI component's configuration object overrides the theme's corresponding values.

Use the VizTheme enum to specify this property when the UI component is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: GenericLight, GenericDark, GenericContrast, GenericCarmine, GenericDarkMoon, GenericSoftBlue, GenericDarkViolet, GenericGreenMist, MaterialBlueLight, MaterialLimeLight, MaterialOrangeLight, MaterialPurpleLight, MaterialTealLight.

title

Configures the UI component's title.

Type:

Object

|

String

The UI component's title is a short text that usually indicates what is visualized. If you need to specify the title's text only, assign it directly to the title property. Otherwise, set this property to an object with the text and other fields specified.

The title can be accompanied by a subtitle elaborating on the visualized subject using the title.subtitle object.

Chart Demo

tooltip

Configures tooltips.

Type:

Object

A tooltip is a miniature rectangle displaying values of a series point. A tooltip appears when the end-user hovers the cursor over a series point. You can enable/disable tooltips, change their appearance and format their text using fields of the tooltip configuration object.

useSpiderWeb

Indicates whether or not to display a "spider web".

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

In a polar coordinate system, the argument axis is a circle because it tracks a continuous angle change. When the argument in the chart's data source is discrete, you may want to display the argument axis as a discrete axis. For this purpose, set the useSpiderWeb property to true. In this instance, the argument axis, as well as the value axis' grid lines, will be displayed by straight lines between axis ticks/grid lines.

UseSpiderWeb ChartJS

The spider web property is supported in the following series types.

NOTE
A spider web demands that the discreteAxisDivisionMode property is set to 'crossLabels' and the firstPointOnStartAngle property is set to true. Thus, do not change the values of these property so that the spider web saves its look.

View Demo

valueAxis

Specifies value axis properties for the PolarChart UI component.

Type:

Object

For charting, the polar coordinate system is used to determine each point uniquely on a plane through two numbers, the argument and the value of the point. A circular and straight lines (the axis of arguments and the axis of values) are specified to define the coordinates. To define the argument axis, use the argumentAxis configuration object. To define the value axis, use the valueAxis configuration object.

To set the properties of all axes to a common value, use the commonAxisSettings configuration object. It exposes properties that can be specified for all axes simultaneously. Note that the value specified for an axis individually (in the argumentAxis or valueAxis object) overrides the value that specified in the commonAxisSettings object.
