Program and method for displaying a radar chart

A method for displaying a radar chart on a computer screen, the method comprising the steps of:

• judging a degree of association between each of a plurality of axial labels and at least one arranged keyword on the basis of data indicative of the relationship between each of the plurality of axial labels and the arranged keyword;
• assigning the plurality of axial labels to a plurality of axes on a radar chart and setting a reference point for the assigned axial label on each of the plurality of axes;
• setting a display position for the arranged keyword at a location nearer to a reference point for an axial label the degree of association of which with the arranged keyword is relatively high than to a reference point for an axial label the degree of association of which with the arranged keyword is relatively low;
• and
• displaying an image indicative of the arranged keyword at the display position set on the radar chart.

A radar chart display control unit for displaying a radar chart on a screen, the unit comprising:

• a degree-of-association judgment section for judging a degree of association between each of a plurality of axial labels and at least one arranged keyword on the basis of data indicative of the relationship between each of the plurality of axial labels and the arranged keyword;
• a reference point setting section for assigning the plurality of axial labels to a plurality of axes on a radar chart and for setting a reference point for the assigned axial label on each of the plurality of axes;
• a display position setting section for setting a display position for the arranged keyword at a location nearer to a reference point for an axial label the degree of association of which is judged by the degree-of-association judgment section to be relatively high than to a reference point for an axial label the degree of association of which is judged by the degree-of-association judgment section to be relatively low;
• and
• a display section for displaying an image indicative of the arranged keyword at the display position set by the display position setting section.

A computer-readable record medium that stores a program for displaying a radar chart on the screen of a display unit, the program causing a computer to perform the processes of:

• judging a degree of association between each of a plurality of axial labels and at least one arranged keyword on the basis of data indicative of the relationship between each of the plurality of axial labels and the arranged keyword;
• assigning the plurality of axial labels to a plurality of axes on a radar chart and setting a reference point for the assigned axial label on each of the plurality of axes;
• setting a display position for the arranged keyword at a location nearer to a reference point for an axial label the degree of association of which with the arranged keyword is relatively high than to a reference point for an axial label the degree of association of which with the arranged keyword is relatively low;
• and
• displaying an image indicative of the arranged keyword at the display position set on the radar chart.
