[radar-basic] Basic Radar Chart

[MarkusNeusinger]

Description

A radar chart (spider chart) displaying multivariate data on axes starting from the same point, with values connected to form a polygon. Each axis represents a different variable, making it ideal for comparing multiple quantitative variables across categories or showing strengths and weaknesses.

Applications

• Employee performance reviews across multiple skills
• Product comparison across features
• Sports player statistics (speed, strength, accuracy, etc.)
• Company benchmarking across KPIs

Data

• category (string) - axis labels (variables)
• value (numeric) - values for each axis (0-100 scale works well)
• Size: 4-8 axes, 1-3 series for comparison

Notes

• Use filled polygons with transparency for overlap visibility
• Include gridlines at regular intervals
• Label each axis clearly
• Consider different colors for multiple series

radar-basic: Basic Radar Chart

Description

A radar chart (also known as spider or web chart) displays multivariate data on axes starting from a common center point, with values connected to form a polygon. Each axis represents a different variable, making it ideal for comparing multiple quantitative variables at once or visualizing strengths and weaknesses across categories.

Applications

• Employee performance reviews showing scores across multiple competencies (communication, technical skills, teamwork, etc.)
• Product feature comparisons across attributes like price, quality, durability, and ease of use
• Sports player statistics comparing metrics such as speed, strength, accuracy, and stamina
• Company benchmarking across key performance indicators

Data

• category (string) - axis labels representing different variables/dimensions
• value (numeric) - values for each axis (0-100 scale recommended for clarity)
• Size: 4-8 axes, 1-3 series for comparison

Notes

• Use filled polygons with transparency (alpha ~0.25) for overlap visibility when comparing multiple series
• Include gridlines at regular intervals (e.g., 20, 40, 60, 80, 100)
• Label each axis clearly at the outer edge
• Use distinct colors for multiple series with a legend
• Close the polygon by connecting the last point back to the first
