Polar Axis

Updated on Mar 26, 2026

Special axis that is a fixed line in a polar coordinate system from which the polar angle is measured counter-clockwise. This axis is scaled to measure the radius of the points.

Properties

The PolarAxis class inherits from the Axis class - See the inherited properties.

• MajorStep (double): Gets or sets the major step between each axis tick. By default the axis will automatically calculate its major step, depending on the plotted data points.
• Minimum (double): Gets or sets the minimum value of the axis. By default the minimum is 0.
• Maximum (double): Gets or sets the maximum value of the axis. By default the axis will automatically calculate its maximum, depending on the maximum Value property of the plotted data points.
• ActualRange (double min, double max): Gets the actual range used by the axis to plot data points.
• IsInverse (bool): Gets or sets a value that specifies, if the plot direction of the axis will be inverted.

Example
