Reading the chart
Section titled “Reading the chart”Compare multiple measures across categories arranged around a circle. Category order changes the polygon shape; keep that order stable across comparisons.
Data requirements
Section titled “Data requirements”Use one category per row and one or more numeric series. Values are finite numbers or explicit nulls; the row mapper does not group or aggregate repeated keys.
Use non-negative values for this chart. Negative values are rejected; explicit nulls represent missing observations.
The roles below describe the chart's data contract. Generic category/value roles resolve from the dataset; explicitly bind specialized numeric roles as shown in the complete example.
| Data role | Field count |
|---|---|
category | 3 or more |
value | 1 or more |
series | 1 or more |

Create this chart
Section titled “Create this chart”Install the package using the installation guide, give the host an explicit height, and call createRadarLineChart after the host mounts. This factory fixes the chart type to radarLine.

Supported options
Section titled “Supported options”Set these fields in chartOptions. The option schema validates supported keys, ranges and choices; updating chartOptions replaces that authored object.
| Option | Default | Accepted values |
|---|---|---|
markOpacity | 1 | 0.2 to 1; step 0.05 |
strokeWidth | 2 | 1 to 6; step 0.5 |
Titles, legends, theme and labels belong to presentation or the corresponding top-level setting. Axis, color, navigation and interaction support depends on the selected chart; see Data & Configuration.
