What is a Radial Diagram ?

 
 

A radial diagram illustrates a relationship where each item is linked to a centre item

 
 

This diagram can be thought of as a very simple organisation chart that starts from the centre rather than the top.

 
 

These types of diagrams are useful for showing items in relation to a core element.

 
 

A radial diagram flows from the outside in or the inside out.

The Diagrams toolbar is automatically displayed whenever a diagram is selected.

Things to Remember

 
 
  • The term radial is because the items radiate from the centre
