# How to Create a Polar Area Graph in Elementor?

## 

- The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro requires Elementor (free) installed and active before the Chart widget is used.
- Chart widget setup keeps Chart Type as Custom, then Select Chart is set to Polar Area.
- Polar Area labels are entered in Label Value separated by |, and data values are added in the Dataset tab.

A polar area graph is a circular chart that displays multiple data points, similar to a radar chart but with filled, proportioned segments.

This doc covers the Polar Area chart type specifically - see the Settings Overview for every other option.

For the full settings tour of the **Chart** widget, see [Chart Widget: Settings Overview](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/chart-widget-settings-overview/).

***Requirement - This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro, make sure it's installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.***

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What do I need before creating a polar area graph in Elementor?**
A: Elementor free has to be installed and active, and the Chart widget is a Pro widget in The Plus Addons for Elementor. That matters because the polar area graph lives inside the paid version of The Plus Addons for Elementor, not the free plugin. In practice, the first setup check is whether Chart is enabled under The Plus Addons > Widgets, since the widget has to be turned on before you can build the graph.

**Q: Why isn't the polar area chart option showing up in Elementor?**
A: The usual blocker is that Chart is not enabled or the paid version of The Plus Addons for Elementor is missing. The page says this widget requires the paid version and does not exist in the free plugin, so a missing toggle or inactive Pro install will stop it from appearing. A quick sanity check is to search for Chart under The Plus Addons > Widgets and confirm its toggle is on.

**Q: How do I make a polar area graph instead of another chart type?**
A: The key decision is to leave Chart Type as Custom and then choose Polar Area from Select Chart. That separation matters because Custom is the container, while Polar Area defines the actual chart style. If you pick a different chart type, you will get a different visualization, so this choice controls whether you end up with a polar area graph or something else.

**Q: How do I enter labels and data for a polar area graph?**
A: Labels go in Label Value separated by |, and the numbers go in the Dataset tab. That format matters because the labels need to stay aligned with each data point, especially in a circular chart where mismatched entries are easy to miss. A practical habit is to keep the label count and dataset count in sync so each segment represents one clear value.

**Q: What kind of chart is a polar area graph best for?**
A: A polar area graph works well when you want multiple data points shown as filled, proportioned segments in a circular layout. The page describes it as similar to a radar chart, but with filled segments that make relative size easier to read at a glance. If you are comparing several values around one center point, this format gives a compact visual summary.

**Q: Should I use a polar area graph or a radar chart?**
A: Use Polar Area when you want filled, proportioned segments in a circular chart, and use Radar when you want that other circular comparison style mentioned in the related doc. The page explicitly points to [How to Create a Radar Chart in Elementor?](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/radar-chart-in-elementor/) as the related option, which makes the distinction useful when choosing between similar-looking charts.
