The Polar 3D Chart Type

In SciChart, Polar 3D Charts are provided by the combination of the Free Surface 3D Series and SCIPolarDataSeries3D underlying DataSeries.

The location of the SCIPolarDataSeries3D is defined by following properties:

The size of the SCICylindroidDataSeries3D is defined by following properties:

Create a Polar 3D Chart

To create a Polar 3D Chart, use the following code:
