  • Stacked area spider with equal scaling, in which values of spokes are equally scaled relative to the one with largest value

Line & Fill Spiders

  • Line spider in which the positions of data points along each spoke represent their actual values, scaled to unity
  • Line spider with equal scaling, in which values of spokes are equally scaled relative to the one with largest value
  • The filled spider displays the same information as the line spider, but different categories are filled by color
