# Polar Bar Chart

The Polar bar is similar to the polar bar area chart, but each segment has the same angle - the radius of the segment differs depending on the value. The way of its sets the labels´ information over the polar also is different.

This type of chart is often useful when we want to show comparison data and also show a scale of values for context.
