Star Plot


Star Plots illustrate multiple variables for location or other observation shown. The resulting lines around each primary point then allow for comparison against the star plots for other locations or observations.

A Box Plot, or box and whisker
Diagram, provides a simple
Graphical summary of a set of
Data.

It shows a measure of central
Location (the median), the average,
And measures of dispersion.

Multivariate relations are obtained through the use of Parallel Coordinate Graphs. Specific properties of the relationship correspond to the geometrical properties of the graph.

Triangular Plot


A Triangular Plot is a graph of 3 variables. It is most often used in geologic studies to show the relative compositions of soils and rocks, but it can be more generally applied to any system of three variables.
