Creating radar plots

Compare different materials from your search results based on the values of multiple properties.

Attributes added to a radar plot are represented by an axis originating from the center of the plot. Data values for the selected records are then plotted as points along the axis, connected by lines to form a polygon. By comparing the polygons, you can identify similarities and difference in the selected records across the specified properties.

  1. Select the properties you want to plot in the Axes panel, and set the required axis scale options.

    The axis scale is relative to the minimum and maximum values across all records in your search results.

  2. Select records from the record list to add data to the plot.
    Data from the records you select is plotted, and the record names are added to the plot legend.
  3. Optional: Click a record name in the plot legend to hide or show the data. Deselect the record in the Record List to remove it from the plot completely.
  4. Optional: Move the mouse over a data point on an axis to see the record name and property value.
  5. To add a data label, right-click a data point and choose Add data label, then drag the label to the position you want. To remove a label, click the cross on the label. To remove all labels from the plot, click Remove all labels.
  6. Optional: Right-click for additional record actions:
