This one had exactly what was needed for a customer demo so
I will happily leave that challenge to others, or to 'next
time'.  In the meantime I submit that
(a) spider plots are a deranged sociologists' adaptation of a bar
    or line plot anyway, carry less information and have many
    gotchas
(b) anyone calling it with negative numbers should be shot
(c) anyone calling it with different length series should
   be hung, drawn, quartered and then finally shot :-)
