Spider Diagrams

Hello

I have some bike share usage data that I would like to create a spider diagram with.

I have no knowledge of Python. Is it possible to create a Spider Diagram without using a Python Script?

Using the most heavily used docking station as the origin, I would like to show, through the use of a spider diagram, where trips
end (destinations) that originated from this one docking station - with weighted lines.
The link below provides a good description of why spider diagrams are useful, but does not tell me how to actually do it in ArcMap.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Elliot

There is Python script (Spider Diagram Tool). I'm not sure whether it will work in the new release of ArcGIS Desktop. You can try by modifying the script.

hello,

with an understanding for the network analyst, you can use OD matrix tool, to make a spider diagram. It is very clear in the tutorial
see here
