148};This example demonstrates how to create a Polar Stacked Radial Column Chart using SciChart.js, visualizing Winter Olympic medals per country with stacked columns in a polar coordinate system. The chart uses PolarStackedColumnCollection to display medal counts as radial columns.
The chart initializes a SciChartPolarSurface with radial (x) and angular (y) axes. The x-axis is configured with EPolarAxisMode.Radial and uses a TextLabelProvider for country names. Three PolarStackedColumnRenderableSeries represent gold, silver, and bronze medals with gradient fills.
The example includes interactive modifiers like PolarZoomExtentsModifier and PolarLegendModifier for user interaction. The WaveAnimation provides smooth series initialization.
The implementation follows async initialization patterns and includes proper cleanup. The radial layout with flippedCoordinates ensures optimal data presentation.
