Spider-web chart

No, but i would imagine it's not super hard to do them, only somewhat hard. Basically it's cartesian with negative values, so you'd choose a zero point somewhere and then render the data onto that:

--code example

constant theScale = 2
constant theMidpoint = "200,200"

on mouseUp
   put field 1 into theDataPoints
   repeat for each line thePoint in theDataPoints
      put item 1 of thePoint div theScale + item 1 of theMidpoint, item 2 of thePoint div theScale + item 2 of theMidpoint & return after theResult
   end repeat
   put line 1 of theResult after theResult --close poly
   put return & return & theMidpoint after theResult --show centerpoint
   set the points of graphic 1 to theResult
end mouseUp

--end example


graphic 1 should be a (freehand) polygon with markercolor set to something more visible then light blue (which is the default), markerDraw set to true, and having sensible markerPoints.

for markerPoints I like to use a small x shapes:
2,2
-2,-2

2,-2
-2,2

I hope this can get you started into the right direction.
