110};This example demonstrates how to create a Polar Mountain / Area Chart using SciChart.js in vanilla JavaScript. The implementation showcases three mountain series in polar coordinates with gradient fills and optional line interpolation, using the PolarMountainRenderableSeries for radial data visualization.
The chart is initialized asynchronously using SciChartPolarSurface.create() with a custom theme. It features a radial Y-axis configured with PolarNumericAxis in EPolarAxisMode.Radial mode and an angular X-axis in EPolarAxisMode.Angular mode. Each mountain series uses an XyDataSeries with closed-loop data points and applies a gradient fill via GradientParams.
The example highlights polar chart capabilities including: clockwise coordinate system, parallel axis labels, and interactive modifiers like PolarZoomExtentsModifier and PolarLegendModifier. The interpolateLine property demonstrates both straight and curved line rendering options.
The implementation follows best practices for asynchronous initialization and resource cleanup. Developers can extend this example by adding real-time updates or customizing the polar axes as described in the Polar Charts documentation.
