radar chart matplotlib code example

Example 1: radar chart in matplot lib

# Libraries
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
from math import pi
 
# Set data
df = pd.DataFrame({
'group': ['A','B','C','D'],
'var1': [38, 1.5, 30, 4],
'var2': [29, 10, 9, 34],
'var3': [8, 39, 23, 24],
'var4': [7, 31, 33, 14],
'var5': [28, 15, 32, 14]
})
 
# number of variable
categories=list(df)[1:]
N = len(categories)
 
# We are going to plot the first line of the data frame.
# But we need to repeat the first value to close the circular graph:
values=df.loc[0].drop('group').values.flatten().tolist()
values += values[:1]
values
 
# What will be the angle of each axis in the plot? (we divide the plot / number of variable)
angles = [n / float(N) * 2 * pi for n in range(N)]
angles += angles[:1]
 
# Initialise the spider plot
ax = plt.subplot(111, polar=True)
 
# Draw one axe per variable + add labels labels yet
plt.xticks(angles[:-1], categories, color='grey', size=8)
 
# Draw ylabels
ax.set_rlabel_position(0)
plt.yticks([10,20,30], ["10","20","30"], color="grey", size=7)
plt.ylim(0,40)
 
# Plot data
ax.plot(angles, values, linewidth=1, linestyle='solid')
 
# Fill area
ax.fill(angles, values, 'b', alpha=0.1)

Example 2: radar chart in python

import plotly.graph_objects as go

categories = ['processing cost','mechanical properties','chemical stability',
              'thermal stability', 'device integration']

fig = go.Figure()

fig.add_trace(go.Scatterpolar(
      r=[1, 5, 2, 2, 3],
      theta=categories,
      fill='toself',
      name='Product A'
))
fig.add_trace(go.Scatterpolar(
      r=[4, 3, 2.5, 1, 2],
      theta=categories,
      fill='toself',
      name='Product B'
))

fig.update_layout(
  polar=dict(
    radialaxis=dict(
      visible=True,
      range=[0, 5]
    )),
  showlegend=False
)

fig.show()
