145This example demonstrates how to render a Polar Radial Column Chart using SciChart.js in vanilla JavaScript. plots radial columns with custom color palettes and interactive zooming to visualize angular data series.
An asynchronous call to SciChartPolarSurface.create initializes the polar surface. Two PolarNumericAxis instances represent the radial and angular axes configured via polarAxisMode and innerRadius properties for a donut effect. Column data points are supplied through XyDataSeries and rendered using PolarColumnRenderableSeries with a custom PaletteProvider to override stroke and fill colors based on thresholds.
Real-time updates can be achieved by modifying the underlying XyDataSeries. The chart supports animated startup via WaveAnimation and advanced styling through dataLabels with EColumnDataLabelPosition.Inside.
Use sciChartSurface.delete() to free memory when disposing charts. Modifiers like PolarArcZoomModifier and PolarZoomExtentsModifier enable intuitive arc-zoom and fit-to-view behaviors as detailed in the PolarArcZoomModifier docs. Ensure proper WASM loading before initialization.
