Radar Chart

The Radar chart type is a circular chart that is used primarily as a data comparison tool. It is sometimes called a spider chart or a star chart. The plot area can also be displayed as a polygon.

Unlike most other chart types, the Radar chart type uses the circumference of the chart as the X axis.
