Polar Line & Scatter Plot displaying changes in radial extent over time, using multiple datasets to show progression, stability, and variation. This visualization is used to track trends in phenomena that expand or contract in a circular pattern, such as environmental shifts, structural deformations, or movement patterns. The combination of lines and scatter points helps highlight key changes, while color gradients can be used to indicate risk zones, density, or intensity variations. Common applications include glacial retreat analysis, atmospheric studies, wave propagation, and mechanical stress testing.
