Radar charts, sometimes referred to as spider charts or web charts, are similar to polar charts but focus on comparing multiple variables. They consist of a central point with several axes radiating outwards, each representing a different variable. Data points are plotted along these axes and connected to form a polygonal shape. Radar charts are ideal for visualizing performance metrics, comparing different entities, or showcasing multi-dimensional data.
Use cases for Radar Chart
Market Research: Polar charts are effective in market research for visualizing consumer preferences and behaviors over time. For instance, a polar chart can depict seasonal sales patterns, highlighting peak periods and off-seasons.
