Circumplex Charts Instructions for Reports

This chart is generated by:

• Getting a background (or foreground) made by a Graphic Designer (an example is attached)
• Create a Polar Chart. For the examples a and b above, the following options were taken in the Merge Manager 
  • Height = 650.
  • Title Rules = None
  • Display Labels = Labels
  •  Font Size = 16
  • Y Axis Maximum = 100
  • Y Axis Increment = 25 
• Position the image behind or in front of the merge string using MS Word's Picture Tools "Wrap Text" Function.  Usually, a bit of trial and error is required to get the position perfect.

Circumplex Charts Instructions for a results page:

• Get a background image made by a graphic designer, to make it easy you can use the same dimensions as our template attached at the bottom of the article.
• Create or edit a Results page.

These are the exact steps we used to create circumplex chart c. at the top of the article. 

1. Head to Graphics> save your background image as ‘Assessment body’ graphic type.
2. Create a Container and drag and drop a ½ size tile into it.
3. Create a polar chart on either sections, subsections, segmentations or questions.
4. We’ve used subsections and set the color of every subsection in the assessment builder.
   Note: you can set the colour of each segment of the polar chart for segmentations, sections and subsections, however, if you want each question to be a different color you will need to create a segmentation for each question.
5. To achieve this circumplex we chose these parameters:

{Polar[SegG=8 SegmentationNo=ALL Label=Y FontSize=6 YAxisMax=100 YAxisInc=101 Legend=N Title=N Label=Y BackgroundGraphic=63871 BackgroundGraphicYRatio=1.20 BackgroundGraphicXRatio=1.20 BackgroundGraphicIsCircle=true Gridlines=X]}

To select the parameters, choose:

 

Then you need to add some parameters directly to the merge string. Copy and paste: 

BackgroundGraphicYRatio=1.20 BackgroundGraphicXRatio=1.20 BackgroundGraphicIsCircle=true

• Ensure there’s a space between the last parameter you created in the merge string and the ones you pasted.
• Ensure there is no space between the last parameter and the ]}.
