Hi!

Pierre just finished a first version of Kiviat in Roassal. Here are some example:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= b := RTKiviatBuilder new.

b objects: RTAbstractCircleLayout withAllSubclasses.

n := RTMultiLinearColorForIdentity new objects: (b objects). b shape circle color: [ :value | n rtValue: value named]; size: 10.

b addMetric: #numberOfLinesOfCode. b addMetric: #numberOfMethods. b addMetric: #numberOfVariables.

b activatePolygons.

b build.

It would be great to have feedback on this!

Cheers, Alexandre

Thanks Pierre. It looks very nice. I'm not in a position to play with it just now, so I'll just go for the low hanging fruit.

Q: Is the 'Kiviat' name more descriptive / intention revealing than 'RadarChart' or 'SpiderChart' , which is the more common name I know for this type of chart. Also per wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_chart

I never heard of Kiviat. My search's first non-wikidpedia page is about code metrics... http://devcodemetrics.sourceforge.net/Metrics.htm

...so is 'Kiviat' domain specific terminology for programming? But are you wanting a wider audience? So maybe consider a rename? :)
