Introduction:

Spider charts, also known as radar charts, are effective for displaying multivariate data in a two-dimensional chart. In Flutter, you can implement a spider chart using the spider_chart package. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of creating a spider chart in Flutter.

Step 1: Create a New Flutter Project

Ensure that you have Flutter installed and set up on your machine. Create a new Flutter project using the following command in your terminal:

Copy Code


flutter create spider_chart_example

Step 2: Add the `spider_chart` Dependency

Open the pubspec.yaml file in your Flutter project and add the ‘spider_chart’ dependency:

Copy Code


dependencies:
  spider_chart: ^1.0.2

Save the file and run flutter pub get in your terminal.

Step 3: Implement a Spider Chart in Flutter

Open the lib/main.dart file and replace its content with the following code:

Copy Code


 
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:spider_chart/spider_chart.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(SpiderChartApp());
}

class SpiderChartApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    

    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text('Spider Chart Example'),
        ),
        body:     Center(
              child: SizedBox(
                width: 200,
                height: 200,
                child: SpiderChart(
                  data: const [
                    60,
                    40,
                    70,
                    50,
                    95,
                  ],
                  labels: const <String>[
                    "Math",
                    "Science",
                    "Art",
                    "History",
                    "Geography",
                  ],
                ),
              ),
            ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Step 4: Run the App

Save your changes and run the app using the following command in your terminal:

Copy Code


flutter run

Sample Code:
