        A spiderweb chart or radar chart is a variant of the polar chart.

Each spoke represents one of the 6 departments within the organization: sales, marketing, development, customer support, information technology and administration. The chart is interactive, and each data point is displayed upon hovering. The chart clearly shows that 4 of the 6 departments have overspent their budget with Marketing responsible for the greatest overspend of $20,000. The allocated budget and actual spending data points for each department are as follows: Sales. Budget equals $43,000; spending equals $50,000. Marketing. Budget equals $19,000; spending equals $39,000. Development. Budget equals $60,000; spending equals $42,000. Customer support. Budget equals $35,000; spending equals $31,000. Information technology.
