Radar Chart Redesign
height: 600
license: mit

A new design for a radar chart in D3.js. You can read more about in on the blog I wrote "A different look for the D3 radar chart"

An older version of a radar chart that I adjusted two years ago when I was just starting to learn D3.js can be found here
