Aster Plot

The Aster Plot is a custom visual that combines the familiar look of a donut chart with added analytical depth by incorporating two separate measures. This unique design enables a more nuanced representation of data, making it ideal for comparative analysis and insightful storytelling.

• Category-driven layout: Each slice represents a category from your dataset.
• Dual-measure capability:
  • The first measure determines the radius (depth) of each slice.
  • The second measure controls the sweep angle (width).

This dual encoding approach provides a richer, more dynamic way to highlight both magnitude and proportion simultaneously.

Use cases: Ideal for showing performance metrics, weighted distributions, or any data scenario where you want to communicate both value and impact at a glance.
