Radial Chart
The Radial Chart is a type of data visualization element that represents data in a circular chart. This type of chart usually occupies a circular area and has a design in which data is placed in a circular pattern to represent a particular concept.
This type of chart represents data using slices, usually around a circle. A radial chart is especially preferred in situations where a circular layout is more effective or meaningful. This type of chart is often used in various applications such as treemaps, sentiment analysis results, timelines, or radial menus.
Here are some of the main functions of the radial chart element:
1. Data Visualization:
The radial chart is used to more clearly visualize a particular concept or relationship in a data set. This can be ideal for organizing data in a hierarchical manner or grouping it around a specific concept.
2. Comparison:
Comparisons can be made using distance, size, or color between different sectors or slices. Users can compare and understand specific data points more quickly.
3. Timelines:
A radial chart can be used to show changes over time. In particular, a circular layout can be used to represent time with distance from a given starting point or center.
4. Menus and Navigation:
The radial layout can be used in menus or navigation systems so that users can quickly scan a series of options.
Application developers can use the Radial Chart element to design graphical user interfaces that allow users to better understand and interact with specific data. This can be especially useful in data-intensive applications or when there is a need to visualize complex relationships.
Adding a Radial Chart Element
It is very easy to add the Radial Chart element to your application. You need to follow the steps below to add the Radial Chart element.
In the Elements panel, select Radial Chart from the Chart category.
Drag and drop the Radial Chart element to the screen.
You can customize the Radial Chart element in the Properties panel.
The Radial Chart element supports web applications. It does not support mobile applications.
You can display the Slice values on the added Radial Chart element with the mouse cursor.
Radial Chart Properties Panel
When the Radial Chart element is selected, the Properties panel displays the Options, Levels, LineColor, LineWidth, Radial Color, ChartText, Authorization and Visibility parameters. These parameter fields allow you to edit custom authorization settings and visibility preferences for the Radial Chart element.
You can give role-based authorizations to the element as well as set its visibility with show/hide/conditional options.
Options:
Used to set general properties. You can bind actions to the Radial Chart element with the Actions drop-down menu in Options. Data should be matched according to the linked action. Data is displayed on the chart with the connected action.
In general, after the action connection is made, the following fields are displayed in the Options Property field:
Slice Label Field:
This field represents the labels that appear on each slice. Slice labels often help the user to understand what a particular slice represents.
Slice Text Field:
The Slice Text Field represents the text that appears inside each slice. This text can include the value or description of a particular slice. It can be used to provide more context to the user.
Point Field:
The Point Field contains values, usually representing a specific point on the chart. For example, it can represent the endpoint of a slice or a specific value. Point Field can be used to add additional information to a specific point on the chart.
It refers to the value shown when the cursor is placed over the chart.
These properties are generally used to give the user more control over specific slices or data points of Radial charts and to provide more information to the user.
For actions to be displayed in properties, SQL actions must be created in the Custom Action panel or in Datasources view mode and called as Initial action.
Levels:
Used to specify the levels to be used in the Radial Chart. These levels usually represent the number of circles or rings in the chart. You can connect an action with the Actions drop-down menu in Levels.
In general, after the action connection is made, the following fields are displayed in the Levels Property area:
Level Label Field:
This field represents the labels that usually appear above the levels in the chart. Each level can represent a specific value or category. Level labels can help the user understand which part represents what.
Level Text Field:
The Level Text Field represents the text that appears inside each level. This text can include content such as the value, description, or additional information for a particular level.
Level Percentage Field:
This field represents the percentage value of each level in the total. In a Radial Chart, it is often important to show the ratio of each level to the percentage of the chart's total, and this field provides that information.
Level Color Field:
The level color field determines the color palette of each level. Each level in the chart can be shown in a different color, giving the user a better visual sense.
LineColor:
Used to determine the color of the lines in the Radial Chart. It refers to the connecting lines between each level or data point.
LineWidth:
Line Width is used to determine the line thickness. There are values in the range of 1-8 in the LineWidth drop-down menu. You can use these values to adjust the thinness or thickness of the lines.
Radial Line Color:
The Radial Line Color property allows you to specify the color of the lines connecting each data point to the center. In this way, it is possible to color-code and visually differentiate the lines in the chart.
ChartText:
Used to specify the text on the chart. It is the text added in the center area of the Chart.
You can use authorization options for the Radial Chart element.

Elements also have "visibility," which allows you to edit their visibility or accessibility in a given state. This property is often used in application design or functionality
For a Radial Chart element, you can use the visibility options to make it always visible, hidden, or visible and hidden depending on a condition.
