Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	ChartDirector	MBS ChartDirector Plugin	8.2	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Adds a vector layer to the chart.

The vectors are specified as 4 data series, representing the radial and angular coordinates of the reference points to put the vectors, and the lengths and directions of the vectors.

By default, the vector starts from the reference point and points away from it. You may use PolarVectorLayer.setArrowAlignment to specify other options, such as for the vectors to point into the reference point, or to have the reference as a pivot at the mid-point of the vector.

ChartDirector supports specifying vectors lengths as pixels or in axis scale. The unit is specified by using the following predefined constants.

ConstantValueDescription

PixelScale	0	The unit is measured in pixels.
RadialAxisScale	2	The unit is measured in the radial axis scale.

Argument	Default	Description
rData	(Mandatory)	An array of numbers representing the radial coordinates for the reference points of the vectors.
aData	(Mandatory)	An array of numbers representing the angular coordinates for the reference points of the vectors.
lengths	(Mandatory)	An array of numbers representing the lengths of the vectors, in unit as specified in the lengthScale argument.
directions	(Mandatory)	An array of numbers representing the direction of the vectors as a clockwise angle in degrees, where 0 is upward pointing direction.
lengthScale	PixelScale	The unit for the lengths, which must be one of the predefined constants in the table above.
color	-1	The color to draw the data points. -1 means that the color is automatically selected from the palette.
name	""	The name of the layer. The name will be used in the legend box, if one is available. An empty string means the layer has no name.

Return Value
A PolarVectorLayer object representing the vector layer created.

CDPolarChartMBS.getXCoor(r as Double, a as Double) as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	ChartDirector	MBS ChartDirector Plugin	8.2	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Gets the x pixel coordinate of a point given its radial and angular coordinates.

The radial and angular coordinates are measured using the scale of the radial and angular axes. In particular, the scale of the angular axis may not be in degrees or radians. See AngularAxis.setLabels and AngularAxis.setLinearScale on how the angular axis scale is defined.

Note: You must call BaseChart.layout first before calling this method. It is because ChartDirector needs to perform auto-scaling and determine the axis scale first before it can compute the coordinates.

Argument	Default	Description
r	(Mandatory)	The radial coordinate of the point.
a	(Mandatory)	The angular coordinate of the point.

Return Value
The x pixel coordinate of the point.

Sets the grid colors and widths of the polar plot area.

Argument	Default	Description
rGridColor	80000000	The color of grid lines in the radial direction (from the center outwards).
rGridWidth	1	The line width for grid lines in the radial direction (from the center outwards).
aGridColor	80000000	The color of grid lines in the angular direction (concentric circles around the center).
aGridWidth	1	The line width of grid lines in the angular direction (concentric circles around the center) The line width is only used if the polar plot area is using a polygon grid (see PolarChart.setGridStyle). If circular grid is used, the line width is always 1.

method	ChartDirector	MBS ChartDirector Plugin	8.2	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Configure whether to use circular grids or polygon grids, and whether the grid lines are on top of the polar plot area or are at the back.

Argument	Default	Description
polygonGrid	(Mandatory)	A true value means polygonal grid will be used. A false value means circular grid will be used.
gridOnTop	true	A true value means the grid lines will be on top of the polar plot area. A false value means the grid lines will be at the bottom of the polar plot area.

Sets alternating background colors for the polar plot area.

ChartDirector supports using two alternating background colors for the polar plot area. The colors can change on the radial direction, resulting in concentric circles, on an the angular direction, resulting in alternating sectors.

Argument	Default	Description
bgColor1	(Mandatory)	The first background color.
bgColor2	-1	The second background color. The default value of -1 means it is the same as the first background color.
altRings	true	A true value means the background colors alternate in the radial direction, resulting in concentric circles. A false value means the background colors alternates in the angular direction, resulting in alternating sectors.

method	ChartDirector	MBS ChartDirector Plugin	8.2	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Sets the angle of the radial axis, and the layout direction of radial grid lines.

The default radial axis angle is 0 degree, which means the radial axis is upward pointing.

Argument	Default	Description
startAngle	(Mandatory)	The angle of the radial axis in degrees. The upward pointing direction is 0 degree, with angle measured in the clockwise direction.
clockwise	true	A true value means the radial grid line will be laid out in the clockwise direction. A false value means the radial grid lines will be laid out in the counter-clockwise direction.
