Last week I posted an article on displaying polar graph using SAS. When the measured data (R, Theta) are in the polar coordinates as radius and angle, then this data can be easily transformed into the XY space using the simple transform shown below. x=r*cos(theta * PI / 180); y=r*sin(theta * PI
There are many situations where it is beneficial to display the data using a polar graph. Often your data may contain directional information. Or, the data may be cyclic in nature, with information over time by weeks, or years. The simple solution is to display the directional or time data
Often we see bar charts showing revenues or other related measures by a classifier using a visual of a stack of coins. Such visuals are not strictly for the purposes of accurate magnitude comparisons, but more for providing an interesting visual to attract the attention of the reader. In other words -
