Plot multiple variables as polygons on a radial grid

diamondplot displays a plot of polygons on a radial grid representing the relationships between one or more attributes of data objects. For a slightly different style of plot, see the "spiderweb plot" example in radial.plot.

diamondplot(x, bg=gray(0.6), col=rainbow,name="", ...)

Arguments

x: A data frame containing numeric values that represent attributes (possibly repeated observations) of data objects. See the example.
bg: The background color for the plot.
col: The colors for the polygons.
name: The title for the plot (i.e. main).
...: additional arguments passed to plot.

nil
