140};This Angular standalone component demonstrates a Polar Windrose Column Chart using SciChart.js. The chart visualizes multi-series directional data in a polar coordinate system.
The component uses ScichartAngularComponent with the same drawExample function as other frameworks. The angular-specific setup includes proper TypeScript typing and standalone component architecture.
The chart maintains all features from the JavaScript version including PolarStackedColumnCollection and custom label formatting. The NumberRange ensures proper axis scaling.
The example follows Angular best practices by using standalone components and proper TypeScript types. For production use, consider implementing OnDestroy for cleanup.
