# Understanding the Spider visualization

The Spider visualization, also known as a radar chart, enables easy comparison of multiple dimensions across a single metric, with axes extending for each dimension or category. This visual is particularly suited for spotting outliers, evaluating performance across varied categories, and comparing multiple factors within one visualization.

## Features

The following features highlight the key functionalities of the Spider visualization:

- Displays up to 15 metrics with 15 dimensions, allowing for a maximum of 225 edges, plus an optional "Other" edge to group additional values.
- Edges are ordered by the highest value of the first metric in chronological order.
- Values can be toggled on or off for enhanced clarity.
- The chart legend can be hidden to maximize display space.


## Considerations

- Comparison values and percentages are displayed only when hovering over the lines.


## Use Cases

The Spider visualization is particularly useful in various scenarios, including:

- **Performance Benchmarking:** Visualize team performance metrics across multiple categories for clearer insights into strengths and weaknesses.
- **Customer Segmentation Analysis:** Compare attributes of different customer segments (age, spending, region) to inform targeted strategies.
- **Product Comparison:** Compare product features or attributes to understand which products perform well on key metrics.
- **Support Ticket Analysis:** Compare ticket stages—Open, In Progress, Escalated, Resolved—across metrics like count or average time to spot resolution delays.
