Client Side Chart Widget in HTML5: Part 5 (Polar Area Chart)

Introduction

 
I hope you have read my first two articles in this series that explain the loading of a Bar Chart, Pie Chart, and Doughnut Chart. Please see the following links.
Now we will explain a client-side Doughnut Chart widget in HTML5.
 
Background
 
Please download the necessary files here http://www.chartjs.org/.
 
Using the code
 
A simple HTML
  1. <!DOCTYPE html>    
  2. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">    
  3.    <head>    
  4.        <title> Polar Area Chart Using Chart.js</title>    
  5.    </head>    
  6.    <body></body>    
  7. </html>   
Included JavaScript file
  1. <script src="Chart.js"></script>   
Call the Chart Function
  1. window.onload = function () {    
  2.             var canvasObject = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext("2d");    
  3.             window.myPolarArea = new Chart(canvasObject).PolarArea(polarChartData, {    
  4.                 responsive: true    
  5.             });    
  6.         }  
Here we are loading the chart in myChart.
 
As you can see in the preceding code, polarChartData is the data we will load into the chart.
  1. var polarChartData = [    
  2.     {    
  3.         value: 200,    
  4.         color: "#F7464A",    
  5.         highlight: "#FF5A5E",    
  6.         label: "Monday"    
  7.     },

  9.         value: 50,    
  10.         color: "#46BFBD",    
  11.         highlight: "#5AD3D1",    
  12.         label: "Tuesday"    
  13.     },
