This example showcases how to create a Simple 3D Polar Chart in iOS Swift and Objective-C with SciChart. Polar 3D Charts are rendered by the SCIPolarDataSeries3D and SCIFreeSurfaceRenderableSeries3D Series.

The SciChart iOS chart library API allows you to define the Polar’s location and size, as well as set different palette modes (Radial, Axial, Polar and Azimuthal).SCIFreeSurfaceRenderableSeries3D Series allows you to create numerous types of shapes, including Sphere, Cylinder, Disc and free-form mesh shapes as well as overlay heightmap, colormap (palette) and contours, empowering your slick iOS applications. Take a look at other examples of shapes in this section: simple cylindroid chart, simple ellipsoid chart and a closed mesh chart.

You can find out more with SciChart Documentation for the iOS Polar 3D Chart Type.
