I have a client that wanted me to submit a request on their behalf. They would love a **Polar Area Chart** : [![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/b/cb3606b446650c6b297a0185bfebef25f9aac5fe.png)](https://quickchart.io/sandbox/#%7B%0A%20%20type%3A%20'polarArea'%2C%0A%20%20data%3A%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20datasets%3A%20%5B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20data%3A%20%5B3%2C%2056%2C%2061%2C%2078%2C%2083%5D%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20backgroundColor%3A%20%5B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20'rgba(255%2C%2099%2C%20132%2C%200.5)'%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20'rgba(255%2C%20159%2C%2064%2C%200.5)'%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20'rgba(255%2C%20205%2C%2086%2C%200.5)'%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20'rgba(75%2C%20192%2C%20192%2C%200.5)'%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20'rgba(54%2C%20162%2C%20235%2C%200.5)'%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%5D%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20label%3A%20'My%20dataset'%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%7D%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%5D%2C%0A%20%20%20%20labels%3A%20%5B'Red'%2C%20'Orange'%2C%20'Yellow'%2C%20'Green'%2C%20'Blue'%5D%2C%0A%20%20%7D%2C%0A%20%20options%3A%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20legend%3A%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20position%3A%20'right'%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%7D%2C%0A%20%20%20%20title%3A%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20display%3A%20true%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20text%3A%20'Chart.js%20Polar%20Area%20Chart'%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%7D%2C%0A%20%20%7D%2C%0A%7D%0A) **Use Case** There is a feature in the app for users to rate themselves each day in 8 categories. The goal of this chart is to show the user how balanced they are across the categories. If one section is 100% and another is 0%, then the “wheel” isn’t rolling efficiently. **Workaround** For now the data can be shown in a bar chart, but this polar chart would fit the narrative better. **Related Requests** In my opinion, line charts are higher priority than this item… > [@Line charts coming?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/line-charts-coming/5260): > > Love the Charts feature but could reallllly use line charts Also wanted to note that the polar chart is a different approach to display data like the chart requested here: > [@New Circular Chart/Progress Bar](https://community.glideapps.com/t/new-circular-chart-progress-bar/22927): > > I would love to see this as an option for the existing charts/progress bars. ---

um… [https://quickchart.io/documentation/#polar-chart](https://quickchart.io/documentation/#polar-chart) 😉 But seriously - quickcharts provide way more charting options than we could ever hope Glide to provide, and they integrate so well with Glide. I’d hate to see the Glide team spending dev cycles adding new chart features when there are so many other cool features that we’d really like to see. ---

@Darren_Murphy @Robert_Petitto Thanks for the suggestion! I am fully aware of [Quickchart.io](http://Quickchart.io) The image above links to it. I suggested this as an option to the client. > [@Darren\_Murphy](#): > > I’d hate to see the Glide team spending dev cycles adding new chart features when there are so many other cool features that we’d really like to see. 100% agree. Again… > [@Darren\_Alderman](#): > > a client that wanted me to submit a request on their behalf. They would love a **Polar Area Chart** : 😁 ---

Hello @Darren_Alderman I did an alternate solution while waiting for the Glide team to add it to the chart collection. > [@Chart Polar](https://community.glideapps.com/t/chart-polar/31692): > > Hello, Here is a first approach to using graphics in addition to those offered by Glide. I used an open source library: there is another chart model than the one in the demo. WARNING: to integrate the graphic, I use the webview component, so you must have a pro package for this to work in publication !!!
