guide-axis-theta
Customise the theta (angular) axis under coord-radial.
The returned spec carries customisation only; it is bound to the theta axis when passed through guides as theta: guide-axis-theta(...), and applied by the radial axis renderer. When bound the renderer draws an outer axis arc spanning the active theta range; without it the radial axis remains spoke-only.
Usage
guide-axis-theta(
angle: 0,
minor-ticks: false,
cap: "none",
)Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
angle |
0 |
Tick-label rotation in degrees: 0 horizontal, 45 readable diagonal, 90 vertical. |
minor-ticks |
false |
Whether to draw short tick marks at half-step positions between major theta breaks. |
cap |
"none" |
Where to trim the axis arc: "none" (full sweep), "both", "upper", or "lower". |
Returns
Guide dictionary tagged kind: "guide", consumed by guides.
