Misplaced labels in polar spider plot with n>12 labels

[berry hollParticipant]

When starting from the Online example “Spider plot is a version of polar plot”, and adding more labels, the label position is misplaced for the last label when the number of labels > 12. Here an example with 12 labels (correct label placement):

And here with 13 labels (misplaced “13” label, and it is not affected by any specified offsets):

I have been unable to correct for this so far. Any suggestions?

Here another example that I adapted from above, where the origin is at the top and labels increase clockwise. I see the same issue with the last label, here “23”‘:

The problem was that, even though the line was being drawn around the ring, DataGraph was treating the last label like it was the end of the line, resulting in the offset.  We will fix this in the next Beta, and soon to be out 5.0.

For now, here is a hack… Go the column where you have the labels entered.  In the row below the last label, double click and simply enter a blank space with the space bar.

The the row with the space is treated like the end of the line and the last text entry, in this case, ’13’, is correctly located.

Not sure if this will fix the second example but we think so.  The fix will be out soon so you won’t have to do this hack going forward.

Thank you very much for the quick resolution of this problem, the beta solved it for me!
Attached my customised version of the plot with ‘fixed’ “-15” label.

WOW!  Fantastic looking graphic!

Could you provide an explanation on what this represents?
