Create a radial bar chart in everviz

Follow the steps in this article to create a radial bar chart in everviz.

Radial bar charts are great for comparing the values of multiple categories quickly, just by looking at the size of the bars. Radial bar charts can be stacked, too.

The example we’ll create lets us see how a set of sales employees has performed over a year’s first quarter. The radial bar chart will show the cumulative value of each employee’s monthly performance. We’ll be able to see easily which employee has performed best over the quarter, just by glancing at the radial bar chart. We can also hover the mouse cursor over the stacked bars to see each month’s result for an employee.

To create a radial bar chart:

Launch the project wizard and select Chart to launch the chart wizard
Select Radial bar from the Chart type section to the left of the chart wizard’s screen. Notice that the preview pane changes to reflect the chart type you’ve chosen
Click Next to move to the Data step where you can enter the data for your chart
Click the top-left cell (A1) in the data table and press CTRL+A to select all the data in it
Press the delete key to remove the example data
Copy this example data and paste it into the data table at the top-left cell (A1). You’ll see the newly added data reflected in the preview chart
Click Next to move to the Design screen where you can choose a theme for your chart. Click an available theme to see how it looks, or stick with the default theme
Click Next to move to the Text & Annotations screen where you can add contextual information to your chart, such as a title, axis labels and a caption
Click Next to move to the Save or Publish screen where you can save your chart for later amendment or use, or publish your chart
Alternatively, you can click the Continue in Editor button to edit the chart further with more granular options
