A radar chart visualizes quarterly sales data for two salesmen, comparing four metrics across Q1 through Q4 on a multi-axes spider plot. Built with dex.js, the chart uses the `dex.charts.d3.RadarChart` API, which renders CSV data into a polar coordinate layout. The example loads D3 libraries and jQuery components, then instantiates the radar chart against a DOM element, drawing each salesman as a distinct polygon overlay.

AI-generated description

Radar Chart

This is a reusable dex.js radar chart composed of treemaps based upon Nadieh Bremer's example.

The radar chart is sometims called the spider chart. Interestingly, it is a variant of parallel coordinates mapped on to polar coordinates.

FAQ

No Legend?

In dex.js, legends are a separate component and populated via intra-chart communication. It frees individual chart implementations of the burden of drawing a legend. It also enables us to provide a single, robust and full featured implementation instead of re-implementing the same old thing over and over again for each individual chart. More on this in a later block.

Radar chart

A radar chart compares multiple quantitative variables on axes radiating from a common center. The code uses D3 v3 with SVG rendering and animation to plot one or more data series as filled polygons, with hover states that adjust fill opacity. Axis labels and percentage level markers are drawn using D3’s selection and append methods, while `d3.scale.category10` handles color encoding. The dataset is supplied inline, and the chart is rebuilt dynamically through a custom `RadarChart.draw` function.

Radar chart

A radar chart, also known as a spider chart, compares two data series across five categorical axes: Visualization, Machine Learning, Data Manipulation, Web Scrapping, and Search Engine. One series shows full values of 1, while the other displays fractional values. The SVG-based visualization, built with D3.js v3, uses a custom `RadarChart.draw` function to render circular level rings, percentage labels, axis lines, and filled, semi-transparent polygons for each series. The chart includes hover interactions and a color scale from `d3.scale.category10()`, with static legend titles defined in the accompanying script.

Smoothed Radar Chart

This example presents a smoothed radar chart (also known as a spider graph) that compares multiple quantitative axes—such as Sales, Marketing, and Development—across three distinct categories, each assigned a unique color and legend. The visualization uses D3 v4 to render SVG paths with rounded strokes and animated transitions, while offering configurable options for levels, maximum values, units, and custom color scales. The chart draws circular grid lines and axis labels, with data from an inline dataset representing budget allocations and actual spending.

Radar Chart D3 V4

This example demonstrates a radar chart built with D3 v4, redesigned to improve the visual appeal of the original implementation by alangrafu. It renders an SVG-based spider chart with six axes, each labeled with a neighborhood name, and uses semi-transparent filled polygons to represent data series. The chart includes circular level lines and percentage labels, with axes extending from the center. The code defines a reusable `RadarChart.draw` function that accepts data and customizable options, and the example uses two series (e.g., Central and Picton) with hover interactions. The visualization is animated and styled with the Fira Sans font. The data shown is a single series with six areas, though the code supports multiple series.

Radar chart

A radar chart displays multivariate data as a polygonal series overlaid on concentric circular gridlines and radiating axes. Multiple data series appear as distinct filled polygons, with hover interactions that dim other areas to highlight the selected series. The visualization is built with D3 v3, rendering SVG elements like lines, polygons, and text. Axis labels and grid values are positioned using trigonometric calculations, while the data is sourced from the gist’s embedded dataset and animated transitions respond to mouse events.

Radar chart

A radar chart displays multiple series of data as colored polygons overlaid on a circular grid of axes, with each axis representing a category. Values are scaled relative to the dataset’s maximum, and percentage labels mark the grid levels. The code uses D3 v3 to build the SVG, calculating polygon points from trigonometric functions and animating fill opacity on mouseover. Grid lines, axis labels, and legends are drawn with `d3.select` and `append`, while color is assigned via `d3.scale.category10()`.

Radar chart

This radar chart visualizes cluster data from a CSV file, comparing multiple financial metrics across five clusters. Each cluster is represented as a filled polygon overlaid on a web of axes, with angular rings showing value levels. The chart uses D3.js v3 with SVG rendering and hover interactions that highlight a selected cluster by reducing the opacity of others. Axes and labels are drawn from the dataset columns, and the polygons are built using D3’s data join and `transition` for smooth opacity changes.

Smoothed Radar Chart

This example presents a smoothed radar chart, also known as a spider graph, for comparing the budget allocation and actual spending of an organization across six categories like Sales and Marketing. Three distinct data series are overlaid as colored, semi-transparent polygons, with an interactive legend and axis labels. The visualization is built using the D3.js library (v5) and renders as an SVG with a custom `RadarChart` function that handles circular grids and curved paths. It also supports animation, a configurable maximum value, and a unit suffix for the data format.
