Parallel Coordinate Graph

A parallel coordinate graph is a common way of visualizing high-dimensional geometry and analyzing multi-variable data.  In a parallel coordinate graph each variable in the data plot is represented as its own Y (vertical) Axis on the graph.  Each line drawn represents a single observation as it relates to each variable. Lines are drawn across each variable for each observation.  The Parallel Coordinate graph above illustrates six software implementation versions of greenhouse gas Global Warming Potential CO2 equivalency factors for the integration of radiative forcing over 100 years.  To accurately understand this parallel coordinate graph you would need the corresponding color legend (below).
