Convert Bar Charts into Radial Bars

In some cases, radial bar charts can look nicer and be easier to understand than regular bar charts. Since Sisense doesn’t have a built-in widget for radial bar charts, here is a script that converts standard bar charts into radial ones. This guide will demonstrate how to use the script to make data visuals more interesting and clear.

Steps:

Create a bar chart. It can be Classic, Stacked or stacked 100.
Add below widget script and save.
Refresh the widget

widget.on('processresult', function(se, args){	
    args.result.chart.polar = true

	args.result.pane = {
        size: '80%',
        innerSize: '20%',
        endAngle: 270
    }

});

Great script!<br/>You can also use the "startAngle" in case you wish to adjust the orientation! (Tested on 2023.11)<br/><br/>eg.<br/>widget.on('processresult', function(se, args){	
    args.result.chart.polar = true

	args.result.pane = {
        size: '80%',
        innerSize: '20%',<br/>        startAngle: -90
        endAngle: 90
    }
});
