Radar Charts

Data that is arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet can be plotted in a radar chart. Radar charts compare the aggregate values of multiple data series. It is effectively a projection of an area chart on a circular x-axis.

There are two types of radar chart: standard, where the area is marked with a line; and filled, where the whole area is filled. The additional type “marker” has no effect. If markers are desired these can be set for the relevant series.

radar <- data.frame(
  "Month" = c("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May", "Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"),
  "Bulbes" = c(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 1500L, 5000L, 8500L, 3500L, 500L),
  "Seeds" = c(2500L, 5500L, 9000L, 6500L, 3500L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L),
