React Polar Radar Chart

Overview

This example demonstrates how to create a high-performance Polar Radar Chart in React using SciChart.js, visualizing the complexity, memory usage, stability, adaptability, scalability, and cache efficiency of Quick Sort and Bubble Sort algorithms through polar series.

Technical Implementation

The chart is initialized asynchronously via the SciChartReact component, creating a SciChartPolarSurface with a custom theme. It configures a PolarNumericAxis for radial values and a PolarCategoryAxis for angular labels, adding PolarMountainRenderableSeries and PolarLineRenderableSeries with XyDataSeries for data visualization. Performance is optimized through WebGL rendering and native text usage, as detailed in the Polar Radar Chart documentation.

Features and Capabilities

The chart supports real-time updates via data series modifications and includes advanced customizations like fade animations, point markers, and interactive modifiers such as PolarPanModifier, PolarZoomExtentsModifier, and PolarLegendModifier for enhanced user interaction.

Integration and Best Practices

Integration in React uses the SciChartReact wrapper for seamless chart lifecycle management, ensuring proper initialization and cleanup. Follow best practices for async setup and theming to maintain performance in dynamic applications.
