<p>In order to create Radar graphs the module
"<code class="filename">jpgraph_radar.php</code>" must first be included. </p>
<p>Radar plots are most often used to display how a number of results compare to some
set targets. They make good use of the human ability to spot symmetry (or rather
un-symmetry). Radar plots are not suitable if high accuracy readings from the graph
are needed since, by it's nature, it can be difficult to read out very detailed
values. </p>
<p><a class="xref" href="ch16s02.html#fig.radarex7" title="Figure 16.33. A typical radar graph with two radar plots added (radarex7.php)">Figure 16.33. A typical radar graph with two radar plots added <code class="uri"><a class="uri" href="example_src/radarex7.html" target="_top">(<code class="filename">radarex7.php</code>)</a></code> </a> shows a basic radar graph with two radar plots
added.</p>
<p>
</p><div class="figure"><a name="fig.radarex7"></a><p class="title"><b>Figure 16.33. A typical radar graph with two radar plots added <code class="uri"><a class="uri" href="example_src/radarex7.html" target="_top">(<code class="filename">radarex7.php</code>)</a></code> </b></p><div class="figure-contents"> <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="images/radarex7.png" alt="A typical radar graph with two radar plots added (radarex7.php)"></span> </div></div><p><br class="figure-break">
</p>
<p>Radar graphs are created as an instance of <code class="code">class RadarGraph</code> which
inherits all common formatting options from the standard <code class="code">class Graph</code>
such as titles, background colors, background titles, etc. </p>
<p>
</p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>Tabbed titles cannot not be used for radar graphs since there is no
applicable concept of a plot area</p>
</div><p>
</p>
<p>The following facts applies to a radar graph</p>
<p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
<p>There is one axis for each data point</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>Each axis may have an arbitrary title which is automatically
positioned</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>A radar plot may be filled or open</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>The first axis is always oriented vertical and is the only axis with
labels</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>Several radar plots can be combined in one radar graph</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>Axis can have either linear or logarithmic scale on the axis</p>
</li></ul></div><p>
</p>
<p>In addition all the normal formatting of labels, background colors, grid lines,
plot colors, fill colors etc. can be adjusted. The rest of this sections will show
some of the typical formatting options available.</p>
<div class="sect2" title="Adding radar plots to a radar graph"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2567444"></a>Adding radar plots to a radar graph</h3></div></div></div>
<p>The principle is exactly the same as for line plots but instead of an x-y
coordinate each data point represents a value on one of the axis. The number of
axis will automatically be the same as the number of data points. Even through
the library itself does not impose any restrictions on the number of axis there
is a practical limit so it is probably best to keep the number of data points
limited to around 10-12.</p>
<p>Typical data set for a radar plot is then given as</p>
<p>
</p><div class="hl-main"><table class="hl-table" width="100%"><tr><td class="hl-gutter" align="right" valign="top"><pre>1
</pre></td><td class="hl-main" valign="top"><pre><span class="hl-code">$data = array( axis<1>_value, axis<2>_value, ..., axis<n>_value );</span></pre></td></tr></table></div><p>
</p>
<p>The plot points are assigned to the axis in a counter-clockwise direction
starting at 12 a'clock. If clock-wise order is needed the input data must be
reversed.</p>
<p>Creation of a radar graph follows the now familiar steps of first creating an
instance of <code class="code">class RadarGraph</code> and then adding one or several
instances of <code class="code">class RadarPlot </code>as the following code snippet
shows</p>

<p>Each radar plot can also have a legend. As usual the text for the legend is
created by using the method</p>
<p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
<p><code class="code">RadarPlot::SetLegend($aText)</code></p>
</li></ul></div><p>
</p>
<p>The legend box is accessed through the "$legend" property of the graph and
this can be used to adjust the size, position and layout of the legend box (as
described in <a class="xref" href="ch14s04.html" title="Adjusting the position and layout of the legend">Adjusting the position and layout of the legend</a>).</p>

<div class="sect2" title="Adding plot-marks to radar plots"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2567446"></a>Adding plot-marks to radar plots</h3></div></div></div>
<p>In exactly the same way as for line graphs it is possible to add plot marks in
radar plots. The mark property is accessed through the instance variable</p>
<p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">

</p>
<p>(All available plot marks are listed in <a class="xref" href="ape.html" title="Appendix E. Available plot marks">Appendix E. <i>Available plot marks</i></a>)</p>
<p>For example to add a red ball marker the following line must be added</p>
<p>
</p><div class="hl-main"><table class="hl-table" width="100%"><tr><td class="hl-gutter" align="right" valign="top"><pre>1

<p>The axis supports all the same formatting options as for standard x-y graphs.
Some of the more commonly used methods for the axis formatting are</p>
<p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">

<p>Each major tick mark can also be connected together to create a grid in the
