A radar chart is a way of comparing data along multiple axes. In a radar chart,
each point is represented as a distance from the center. The order and choice of
data points is quite important in this type of graph, as adjacent nodes should
be related in some manner, and the slope of the graph has meaning. In the
chart of education ratings for the Scandinavian countries shown in Figure 12-8,
the ratings for men and women have been chosen to be opposite each other,
allowing for each comparison, and science was picked to be between math
and reading, as science ability can be considered highly influenced by ability
in math and reading.
The high slope for women up to science versus the flat one for men is an
interesting contrast.
