How to edit each interval web in a spider plot for different categories?

Is there a way I can edit the intervals of each of the 5 categories. They are all not spaced out the same nor evenly. For example 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 for one category, then <0.85, 1.00, 1.20, 1.30, >1.35 for the next, etc for the next three categories?
D1 = [0.828 0.187 000.0 3.710 25.00]; %Min Values
D2 = [1.260 0.171 142.0 1.190 75.00]; %Data Points
D3 = [1.50 0.046 180.5 0.250 100.0]; %Max Values
P = [D1; D2; D3];
axesLimits = [0.828 0.046 000.0 0.250 25.00; %minimum values for spider graph
1.50 0.187 180.5 3.710 100.0]; %maximum values for spider graph

Hi,
xticks and xticklabels functions in MATLAB to customize the intervals and labels for each category. You can define custom intervals for each 5 categories and then use xticks to set the tick positions on the x-axis and xticklabel functions to set corresponding labels respectively.
This example might be helpful
D1 = [0.828 0.187 000.0 3.710 25.00]; % Min Values
D2 = [1.260 0.171 142.0 1.190 75.00]; % Data Points
D3 = [1.50 0.046 180.5 0.250 100.0]; % Max Values
P = [D1; D2; D3];
% Define the custom intervals for each category
intervals = {[0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100], ...
[0.85, 1.00, 1.20, 1.30, 1.35], ...
% Define custom intervals for the remaining categories
% ...
};
% Define the labels for each interval
labels = {'Category 1', 'Category 2', 'Category 3', 'Category 4', 'Category 5'};
% Plot the spider graph
theta = linspace(0, 2*pi, size(P, 2)+1);
theta = theta(1:end-1);
figure;
polarplot(theta, P(1,:), '-o');
hold on;
polarplot(theta, P(2,:), '-o');
polarplot(theta, P(3,:), '-o');
thetaticks(rad2deg(theta));
thetaticklabels(labels);
Hope it helps!

Hi,
You can modify the 'AxesInterval' parameter. In the above code, it is set to 5, which means there are 5 sections/levels within the spider graph. You can adjust this value to change the number of intervals.
