Star plots



Star plots are a completely new type of map.  A star plot is a method of displaying multivariate data, data involving two or more variable quantities.  Each star on a star plot represents a single observation.  This means each whisker or point on the star plot represents a dimension in the data set.  Typically, star plots are generated in a multi-plot format with many stars.  This star plot seen above is a different way to look at car statistics.  This is a very interesting idea, as I will soon be looking for a new car.
