polarProperties: {
   straightGridLines: boolean,
   extrudeAxisLabels: boolean,
   drawAsArea: boolean},

where:

straightGridLines: boolean

Defines the grid line style. Valid values are:

• true, which draws straight grid lines with yaxis: majorGrid.
• false, which draws round grid lines with yaxis: majorGrid. The default value is false.

extrudeAxisLabels: boolean

Defines where to draw y-axis labels. Valid values are:

• true, to draw y-axis labels extruded from the circular grid.
• false, to draw y-axis labels within the circular grid. The default value is false.

drawAsArea: boolean

Applies to radar charts only. Valid values are:

• true, to draw a circular area chart.
• false, to draw a circular line chart. The default value is false. 

Note:

• A polar chart is a circular scatter chart.
• Like scatter charts, a polar chart requires two values to draw each marker.
• yaxis properties control the circular grid around polar chart markers. These properties also control the appearance of axis labels and gridlines.
• xaxis properties control the appearance of labels and values on the x-axis (around the outside edge of the circular grid) and x-axis gridlines.

Example: Setting Polar Chart Properties

The following request generates a polar chart with the default properties. The major grid lines are dashed teal circular lines, and the series properties set the marker shapes, sizes, and colors:

   }
},
series: [ 
 {series: 0, color: 'lavender', marker:{size: 15, shape: 'circle',

 {series: 1, color: 'cyan', marker:{size: 15, shape: 'circle', 
  border: {width: 1, color: 'green'}}}

The output is:

Changing straightGridLines to true, and extrudeAxisLabels to true, generates the following chart:
