This command allows you to change the appearance of polar plots.
Shortcut:
Right-click within an existing polar chart and select Polar Plot Options.
Angular units
Select the units for the independent variable. NOTE: Changing units does NOT alter the input data in any way.
0 degrees at top of plot
By default, 0 degrees is drawn at the 3 o’clock position.
Clockwise angles
If checked, angular values increase in a clockwise direction.
Force circular plots
If unchecked, then the plot will be drawn as large as possible, subject to the “Specify size” setting under Options>Extents/Intervals /Size.
If checked, the width and height of the plot are forced to be equal, which results in a circular plot. If the size has not been specified then it will be set to roughly 80% of the minimum of the document window width and height. You can override that size selection with the “Specify size” setting under Options>Extents/Intervals /Size.
Vertical radial axis labels
If checked, labels for the dependent variable will have a vertical orientation.
Center radial labels on the radius
If checked, labels for the dependent variable will be centered on the corresponding radius. If unchecked, labels will be left-justified (0 degrees at 3 o’clock) or bottom-justified (0 degrees at top of plot).
Label 0 degrees
If unchecked, the 0 degrees label is not drawn, and the maximum radius label is drawn at or near that location. If checked, the 0 degrees label is drawn and the maximum radius label is not.
Axial grid lines start at
By default, axial grid lines emanate from the center of the plot. With a large number of grid lines (set with the Tick Marks settings under Options>Extents/Intervals /Size) and/or low resolution output, this may result in undesirable visual artifacts or a cluttered appearance.
