What are circular bar plots?

In contrast to conventional bar charts, which display the bars horizontally or vertically, circular bar plots, sometimes called radial bar charts or circular histograms, display the bars radially around a circle. Every bar in the plot denotes a category, and the value of each category is represented by the bar’s length. The figure exhibits radial symmetry due to the bars’ uniform spacing around the circle.

Benefits of Circular Bar Plots:

• Cyclic Data Visualization: Hourly patterns, monthly trends, or directional data are examples of cyclic or periodic data that work well when displayed using circular bar charts.
• Space Efficiency: They utilize space well, particularly when handling a large number of categories.

Circular bar plots, also known as radial bar charts or circular histograms, are a visually appealing way to display data. In this article, we’ll explore how to create circular bar plots using the Seaborn library in Python.
