A radar chart, additionally called a spider plot is used to visualize the values over more than one quantitative variable.

A radar chart is an informative graphical tool in which multiple variables and compared on a two-dimensional space.

In this tutorial we are going to describes how to create a radar chart in R, using ggradar R packages.

Is it possible to compare multiple variables in one place instead of a table?”

Web, polar, star, radar, or spider charts, these diagrams help us to convert complex piece of information in a simpler manner.

In this article you will be familiar how to create spider graphs in R.

Basically, a spider chart can be used in any situation when you need to compare multivariable information in a 2D plane.

Elements

A spider plot is easy to interpret and it contains following elements.

Center point: Core of a spider chart from which different axes are drawn.

Axis: Each axis indicates a variable

Grids: When axes are connected in a spider chart, it divides the complete graph into distinct grids that assist us to constitute facts in a higher way.

Values: Once the graph is drawn, we constitute numerous values on every axis and plot the chart for each access through allocating extraordinary colors.

Getting Data

data<- data.frame(row.names = c("A", "B", "C"),Thickness = c(7.9, 3.9, 9.4),Apperance = c(10, 7, 5),Spredability = c(3.7, 6, 2.5),Likeability = c(8.7, 6, 4))data

In this data frame contains 3 observations with 4 variables.

Let’s Load basic packages in R,

library(tidyverse) #devtools::install_github("ricardo-bion/ggradar") library("ggradar") df<-data %>% rownames_to_column("group")df

Output:-
