Polar plot point interpolation
Hi,
I'm trying to translate a XY chart into a polar plot. I have a collection of points in a given time that are represented on the XY chart (chart 1) with time on the X axis and the angle (in function of time) on the Y axis.
When I try to plot the equivalent polar chart, I expect to have the time on the radius and the angle on the angle axis. However, Oxyplot connects the points using a direct line between each two subsequent points, like the attachment image I've uploaded (on the 'wrong' label, chart 4).
I would expect that this interpolation would create an arc between each pair of points (char 3): this way, we don't go 'back in time' (you can notice this behaviour on the orange section of one of those lines that I marked on the attachment image... the interpolation that oxyplot does implies that on a XY chart we would have something like the chart number 3... notice that we go backwards in that interpolation too).
Is there a way to consider this kind of interpolation on the polar chart (chart number 2)?

Have you tried setting the "Smooth" property on the LineSeries to true?
Unfortunately it does not return the expected chart. If I set Smooth to true, I have this:

As you can see, I still have the "series going backwards" problem.

It may be difficult to view this as a static image, but when I advance the tracker I never go backwards, like I was trying to do (this will only happen with smooth = true). So this interpolation is being done already some place, it is just not plotted as a series.
