# Polar Axis

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](https://www.telerik.com/winui/documentation/controls/radchart/axes/overview).

* **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

**Example 1** demonstrates how to set some of the properties of a **PolarAxis** in **RadPolarChart**:

#### **Example 1: Defining a PolarAxis**

```XAML
<telerikChart:RadPolarChart>
	<telerikChart:RadPolarChart.PolarAxis>
		<telerikChart:PolarAxis LabelInterval="2" MajorStep="2" Maximum="10" />
	</telerikChart:RadPolarChart.PolarAxis>
	
</telerikChart:RadPolarChart>
