Radar Chart

Version

Application Scenario

The radar chart is also known as the polar chart or spider chart. All categories in the radar chart have their numerical axes, which radiate from the center. Values of the same series are connected by lines. The radar chart can display the relationship between independent data and the relationship between a series and other series (as a whole) of a product.

For example, you can display the performance comparison between the mobile phone A and mobile phone B through a radar chart, as shown in the following figure.
