Aster Plot Feature #2901

Hi all,

Have you considered implementing an Aster plot to your list of charts?

Aster plots are criminally underused.

They can show the proportion each section is comprised of while showing progress in each section.

An example of the popular math learning website Aleks. The thickness of a given slice is proportional to the number of "topics" in a category relative to the total number of topics. The radius of a slice is the number of topics that a user has completed proportional to the number of topics in that category.

It's a really easy way to display a lot of data at a glance.

Interesting, kind of a mix of pie and the upcoming barpolar #2810. No, I hadn't seen this before, thanks for bringing it up.

It suffers from the same ambiguity as barpolar will, about whether data is encoded in radius (to be precise, radial thickness) or in area (or perhaps area fraction). In contrast the Marimekko chart is unambiguous in this regard, for displaying the same kinds of data. But people like circles, whatcha gonna do. Anyway Marimekko is also not yet implemented here.

@spicynaresh Super sweet implementation! The aster plot I am requesting would also have the ability to make each section's width proportionate respectively.

Hi - this issue has been sitting for a while, so as part of our effort to tidy up our public repositories I'm going to close it. If it's still a concern, we'd be grateful if you could open a new issue (with a short reproducible example if appropriate) so that we can add it to our stack. Cheers - @gvwilson
