Charts - Radar 🧪

Radar allows to compare multivariate data in a 2D chart.

Basics

A radar chart is defined by two main props:

  • The series prop which provides the values to display thanks to the data property.
  • The radar prop which defines the radar axes.

Multi-series

You can plot multiple series on the same radar chart.

  • USA
  • Australia
  • United Kingdom

Series options

Radar series support hideMark and fillArea parameter to modify the rendering of the series.

Axis

The metrics property of radar takes an array with one item per corner of the radar. This item can either be:

  • A string used as the axis label. The other properties are populated from the data.
  • An object with the following properties:
    • name: The label associated to the axis.
    • min: The minimum value along this direction (by default 0).
    • max: The maximum value along this direction (by default the maximum value along this direction).

Grid

The radar chart displays a grid behind the series that can be configured with:

  • startAngle The rotation angle of the entire chart in degrees.
  • divisions The number of divisions of the grid.
  • shape The grid shape that can be circular or sharp.
  • stripeColor The callback that defines stripe colors. Set it to null to remove stripes.
import { Unstable_RadarChart as RadarChart } from '@mui/x-charts/RadarChart';

<RadarChart
  {/** ... */}
  shape="circular"
  divisions={10}
  radar={{
    startAngle: 30,
    metrics: [...],
  }}
/>

Playground


Highlight

Axis highlight

By default the radar highlight values of a same axis. With composition you can add this behavior with the <RadarAxisHighlight /> component.

  • Lisa
  • Bart

Series highlight

To set the highlight on series, use the highlight prop with 'series' value. This highlight can be controlled with highlightedItem value and onHighlightChange callback.

With composition you can pass those props to the RadarDataProvider.

This demo shows a controlled highlight. Notice the impact of the series order in the highlight interaction. The UK series is the last item of the series prop. Such that its area renders on top of the others. Otherwise, the other area would catch the pointer event, making it impossible to highlight it.

  • USA
  • Australia
  • United Kingdom

Disabling highlight

To remove highlight, set the highlight prop to 'none'.

Tooltip

Like other charts, the radar chart tooltip can be customized with slots. The trigger prop of the tooltip slot accepts the following values:

  • 'axis'—the user's mouse position is associated with a metric. The tooltip displays data about all series along this specific metric.
  • 'item'—when the user's mouse hovers over a radar area, the tooltip displays data about this series.
  • 'none'—disable the tooltip.

Composition

For composition, use the RadarDataProvider to provide series and radar props.

The RadarGrid and RadarMetricLabels components render the grid and the labels.

The RadarSeriesPlot renders series (the area and the marks) on top of each other. The RadarSeriesArea and RadarSeriesMarks provide an alternative by rendering all series areas in the first component and all the marks in the second. The second approach allows rendering some elements on top of areas and below marks.

The RadarAxisHighlight component displays the axis highlight.

  • Australia

For info here is the composition of the RadarChart component.

<RadarDataProvider>
  <ChartsWrapper>
    <ChartsLegend />
    <ChartsSurface>
      {/* The background of the chart */}
      <RadarGrid />
      <RadarMetricLabels />
      {/* The data with axis highlight on top of area and below marks */}
      <RadarSeriesArea />
      <RadarAxisHighlight />
      <RadarSeriesMarks />
      {/* Other components */}
      <ChartsOverlay />
      <Tooltip />
    </ChartsSurface>
  </ChartsWrapper>
</RadarDataProvider>
