Aster Plot Feature

[Buttars]

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.

is it implemented Aster Plot feature

Here's some docs for an aster plot implemented in D3 http://bl.ocks.org/bbest/2de0e25d4840c68f2db1

Hi thanks for informing me Im not able to implement this graph with all arcs of "same width" Based on input data outer radius of each arc is resulting in asterplot graph, but widths of all arcs should be same

perfect aster plot graph in d3.js https://d00d3.codesandbox.io/

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

hear is the updated graph with hover effect,we expect this aster plot graph implementation in plotly

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
