//Practically all this code comes from https://github.com/alangrafu/radar-chart-d3
//I only made some additions and aesthetic adjustments to make the chart look better
//(of course, that is only my point of view)
//Such as a better placement of the titles at each line end,
//adding numbers that reflect what each circular level stands for
//Not placing the last level and slight differences in color
//
//For a bit of extra information check the blog about it:

Great work on this one! Nice looking radar chart are hard to generate. Quick question (please note I am new to D3...) : is there an easy way to rotate the entire radar graph by some degree? I am trying to generate a radar graph that will not have a 'vertex' at the top, but rather have an 'edge'... Any idea? Thanks a lot :)

Thanks @nbremer for the work that went into making a radar chart look nicer - your post on it was very helpful! Just following up that one: Like you said, it would be a nice idea to highlight the polygons on hover over the legend-key/text; did you get to implement that? It would be a great addtion!

Im pretty new to D3 and just had a look at your chart extension. Looks pretty good!
I was trying to add custom labels (e.g. Title - line break - subtitle) but could not find an easy way.
Do you know a way to extend your code for allowing that?
Thanks again.

Nice work.
I am trying to do with negative values. But the dots are getting wrong positions (screenshot is attached: 20% point shows on 50% axis).
Can you help?

Thank.

Good job,
I like all this, but I dont know how to do to save the chart as image
I'm trying use this tutorial http://bl.ocks.org/Rokotyan/0556f8facbaf344507cdc45dc3622177 but dont work :(
Can you help me?
