    Radar chart

    Radar chart for several measures of one or more groups on spokes of one scale.

    Use a radar chart to compare groups across a handful of measures that share a scale.

        - {skill: Cost, team: Beta, score: 75}
        - {skill: Docs, team: Beta, score: 45}
        - {skill: Support, team: Beta, score: 85}
    encoding: {x: skill, y: score, color: team}
    axes:
      y: {label: Score}
    ```
    

    Fields that matter

    • type: radar with encoding.x for the axis (spoke) name, encoding.y for the value and encoding.color for one polygon per group
    • At least three axes are needed, and a repeated axis is rejected
    • A missing value breaks the polygon at its spoke and is disclosed; it is never joined across
    • All spokes share one scale; axes.y sets label, format, unit, min and max, and values outside a fixed scale are drawn at its edge and counted
    • encoding.facet makes one radar per value; style.ratio sets the width to height ratio and style.facet_scale: free gives each facet its own scale

    Interactions

    • Hover or focus a point to read its value; the pointer picks the nearest point within reach.
    • Click a legend entry to toggle a series when the chart has several.
    • Open the Table view, Download PNG or CSV, or Expand the chart.
