8.1 Radar plots

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