Hi Guys,
I'm trying to display the movement of an object on a radial graph. I've managed to successfully plot the points in R and using geom_path draw a line based on the order of the records in the dataset.
When I apply is to PowerBI I seem to lose the order of the data and it just plots from high to low. I've attached the graphs from R Studio and PowerBI to show the difference. I'm sure I'm just missing a tiny thing, but can't figure out what it is.
I have the following script:
p <- ggplot(dataset, aes(extension, radius))+ geom_point(aes(extension, radius)) + geom_path() + coord_polar() + xlim(0, pi*2) print(p)
My data is sorted like this:
| extension | radius |
1.90311 | 28.9289 |
1.81148 | 31.1281 |
1.7757 | 33.2769 |
1.77657 | 34.3312 |
1.77657 | 34.6795 |
1.77675 | 34.6795 |
1.77657 | 34.3312 |
1.77657 | 34.3312 |
1.77727 | 34.3312 |
