Wind Rose / Polar Bar
Polar bars: magnitude by direction, distribution by angle.
Wind Rose / Polar Bar arrays category bars around 360° instead of along a baseline. Built for directional data (wind, time-of-day, compass) but useful anywhere magnitude has a natural angular axis.
Polar bars at angles per category with bar length = magnitude, optional stacked segments, tooltip, theme color.
Directional data on a linear axis loses its meaning; polar layout preserves it.
Three ways teams use it.
