Radar

Polar multi-axis profiles — series paint, grid variants, labels, multiple series, and legend.

Radar charts map metrics onto spokes around a center. Compose radial scales, polygons, and optional dots or stroke-only paint from @viraui/charts.

Reach for Radar when comparing profiles across the same axes. Prefer Bar for single-metric category lists, and Pie for part-to-whole.


When to use

  • Multi-metric profiles (desktop vs mobile across months)
  • Grid and fill treatments that teach polar structure

When not to use

  • Simple category magnitudes → Bar
  • Time trends → Line

Common examples

Default

Filled desktop profile on a polygon grid.

Dots

Always-on vertex markers on the default fill.

Lines

Stroke-only desktop and mobile series without fill.

Grid polygon

Spokes and polygon rings (default grid).

Grid circle

Concentric circle rings instead of polygon levels.

Grid filled

Soft fill under the outermost grid band.

Labels

Value labels on the vertices.

Multiple

Two series on the same spokes.

Legend

Ordinal legend under the radar.
