radar chart
Multivariate web display
A radar chart is a graphical display where multiple variables radiate from a central point like spokes on a wheel, with values plotted along each axis and connected to form a polygon.
The shape reveals patterns and relative strengths across categories at a glance: The radar chart showed the athlete excelling in speed and endurance but lagging in flexibility.
Also called a spider chart or web chart.
