Question 1

What is a radar chart?

Accepted Answer

A radar chart (also called a spider chart, web chart, or star chart) displays multivariate data on axes radiating from a central point. Each axis represents a different variable, and the plotted shape shows relative performance across all variables — making comparisons between multiple entities easy to visualize.

Question 2

When should I use a radar chart?

Accepted Answer

Radar charts are ideal for comparing multiple entities across several common categories — for example, comparing product features, player statistics in sports, employee skills, or survey results across dimensions. They work best with 4–8 categories and 1–3 series.

Question 3

How do I enter data for the radar chart?

Accepted Answer

First, list your categories (spokes) in the Categories field, comma-separated (e.g. Speed,Strength,Agility). Then in the Series field, enter each series as Name:v1,v2,v3 separated by semicolons (e.g. Player A:80,90,70;Player B:70,85,90). Each value corresponds to one category in order.

Question 4

Can I add multiple series to the radar chart?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Separate multiple series with a semicolon in the Series field. Each series gets its own color and is shown on the same radar, making it easy to compare shapes — a larger overall polygon indicates better performance across all dimensions.

Question 5

What download formats does the radar chart maker support?

Accepted Answer

You can download your radar chart as PNG (best for presentations and web), JPG (smaller file size), or SVG (vector format for scalable, print-quality output). All formats export the full chart as displayed, including the title, grid, and legend.
