A radial chart (also called a circular bar chart) uses circular shapes to compare different categories. Radial charts are essentially bar charts displayed on a polar coordinate system instead of a cartesian system. 

Radial charts can be used for aesthetic reasons while simple bar charts are better for comparing values. So, if you'd like to leave an impression with your project, radial charts are the way to go. Radial charts also allow for a better use of space than a long bar chart.

With Infogram, you can quickly create professional radial charts for your business or personal use. It's easy to get started. Just choose chart templates created by our designers. Add icons, text, adjust colors, and visualize your data to engage your audience from the first glance.
