<P> Spider plots are most often used to display how a number of results
|
|
|
30 |
compare to some set targets. They make good use of the human ability to
|
|
|
31 |
spot symmetry (or rather un-symmetry) . the figure below show an
|
|
|
32 |
example of a spider (sometimes called a web-plot). Spiderplots are not
|
|
|
33 |
suitable if you want very accurate readings from the graph since, by
|
|
|
34 |
it's nature, it can be difficult to read out very detailed values.<DIV class="example">

<P> In the following section we show how to draw both simple and complex

|
57 |
radar graph. As we will show all the settings will follow the same
|
|
|
58 |
pattern as for the more standard linear graphs.</P>
