107This example renders a Polar Range Column Chart visualizing monthly minimum and maximum surface temperatures using SciChart.js. It a polar surface with radial and angular axes to display a donut-style column series.
The chart is initialized via SciChartPolarSurface.create(), applying PolarNumericAxis for the radial axis (documentation) and PolarCategoryAxis for the angular axis to map 12 months evenly around the circle (layout guide). A PolarColumnRenderableSeries is configured with an XyyDataSeries supplying yValues (min) and y1Values (max), and animated via SweepAnimation.
Real-time updates can be achieved by updating the data series. Interactive modifiers include PolarPanModifier, PolarZoomExtentsModifier, and PolarMouseWheelZoomModifier for smooth panning, zooming, and mouse-wheel control.
Use SciChartSurface.delete() to clean up WebAssembly resources when disposing. For performance, enable zoomExtentsToInitialRange on axes and minimize redraws by batching data updates.
