Creating radar charts
Radar charts can highlight trends. Growth trends appear as outward spirals; static or fluctuating trends look more like circles or stars. Series comparisons are easily viewed on radar charts: the series with the highest values occupies the largest area.
For information about modifying charts, see “Working with chart series.” For information about editing charts, see “Editing charts.”
