Star Plot

First used by Georg von Mayr in 1877, a star plot is a method of displaying multiple variables and characteristics of different statistical observations simultaneously. For a given observation, the length of each ray is made proportional to the size of that variable. This is an effective way of comparing many different observations on a single plain.
