React chart example
Radial bar
Compare values on concentric circular tracks, where each bar’s sweep represents its magnitude.
Signups by day and channel
Compare values using bars that sweep around a circle.
What is a radial bar chart?
A radial bar chart bends bars into circular tracks. Values are encoded by the angle swept around the circle, while categories occupy separate rings. In a stacked version, coloured segments run consecutively around each track to show contributions to its total.
When to use it
Use it for a compact, distinctive overview when a circular display fits the product. It can support a small set of progress or category comparisons if the scale and limits are clear. For precise comparisons between categories, straight stacked bars are easier to read.
Design tips
Make the starting point, direction and scale clear. A nearly complete ring should not be assumed to mean “nearly 100%” unless a 100% limit is actually defined.
Use angular extent to compare values across rings, with labels or hover details for precision. Do not compare their apparent surface areas.
Keep the channel order stable and give the innermost track enough space. If the chart needs many rings, switch to a horizontal bar layout.
