I've done a little snooping around the R Gallery Site
(http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/) and the "Statistics with R"
site (http://zoonek2.free.fr/UNIX/48_R/all.html), but I can't seem to find
what I'm looking for.
Here is the type of plot I would like to draw:
(1) 2-D three axis plot where each axis is separated by 120-degrees (would be
great if the number of axis was configurable)
(2) Would like the value at the origin of the axis to be configurable, and then
have each axis to be increasing equally out from the origin, e.g. have the
origin have a value of 0.5 and each axis increase from there
(3) Would then like to be able to lay concentrically increasing circles over the
axis so that they intersect each axis
(4) Data values would only lye on the axis.
I would like to put together this plot to show how far each variable is from the
target variable, so I'm thinking this would be a target plot where the value
of the target would be configurable. (I guess normalization would have similar
result, but I would like to show the actual values.)
I guess the result would look kind of like a dart board or something similar.
Thank you for any insights that can be provided, especially if something like
this already exist.

I had a bit of problems with my email, so if any one responded to this I may
have not received it.
Is there any chance you can repost any ideas you might have?
Right now I am looking at the plotrix package, but I have not been able to put
together what I'm looking for.
Thank you again for your feedback and insights.

Thank you again for your response. Below is similar to what I ended up doing,
i.e. example code:
library(plotrix)
ions<-c(3.2, 5.0, 2.0)
ion.names<-c("Na","Ca","Mg")
radial.plot(ions, labels=ion.names, rp.type="s",
start=90*(3.14159/180),
main="Dissolved ions in water", point.symbols=16,
point.col="green",
radial.lim=c(0,6), show.centroid=FALSE, cex=4)
Now I will try to add on the label.
Also, do you know how to make the radial rings "black" and a little
thicker? A co-worker requested that the be made a little darker and easier to
see.
Thanks again.

Hi Jason,
I sent a brief note to check radial.plot in the plotrix package, but you may
have already found this.

You could add lwd=2 to line 170 if you just want a one-off. Jim
