[Tutor] python and kiviat diagrams

[Albert-Jan Roskam]

I was studying the code on http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/radar_chart.html.
Isn't it very unusual that a class is defined within a function? Why not use a class instance inside the function instead? No methods of the class can currently be inherited outside the scope of the function, right?

Just curious..

Cheers!!

I don't know what a Kiviat diagram is but the images google shows me
look a lot like this:
