A radar chart (or spider chart) is used to display multivariate data in a circular format. Each variable has its own axis starting from the center, and data points are connected to form a polygon.
Radar charts are ideal for comparing attributes across multiple items — especially when values vary widely in multiple dimensions.
When to Use a Radar Chart
- Compare performance across categories (e.g., skills, KPIs)
- Show profile strengths and weaknesses visually
- Analyze multivariate metrics for individuals, teams, or products
Best Practices
- Limit to 5–10 axes for readability
- Use consistent scales for fair comparison
- Label axes clearly and use tooltips for precision
Radar Charts in ClicData
- Create radar/spider charts for KPI comparison or skill matrices
- Display multiple profiles on the same chart
- Customize axis scales, colors, and filled or unfilled styles
