Overview
This example allows you to create a LabVIEW Radar Plot. You can use a radar plot to compare the performance of one set of data with another set of data graphically.
Description
This VI can be used to organize data graphically, and is highly useful because it can be distinguished with the human eye very quickly. This example takes a user-inputted amount of rows and columns along with their allotted header names. The columns determine how many "branches" of the radar plot there are and the rows determine how many "tests" will exist per branch. For examples: Let's say we want to graph the age of every basketball player in a conference of 4 teams. That would be 4 rows, and 5 columns. Currently this VI has been made to just use random data, but it would be fairly easy to parse out a spreadsheet and use it instead.
Requirements
LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
Steps to Implement or Execute Code
- Download and open the VI " Radar Plot_LV2012_NI Verified"
- Choose number of rows and columns to be generated (rows is equivalent to number of plots and columns is the number of data samples in each plot)
- Choose a header to the row and column
- Run the VI
