Star Plot

http://start1.jpl.nasa.gov/caseStudies/autoTool.cfm


The picture above is a star plot. Star plots are used to compared different data. Each "star" has spokes and each spokes represents and observation about the certain object. I used the above picture because it is different than most star plot comparisons. The majority of the time many star plots are made and are compared side by side. In this case they used different colors to distengiush the different observations. So instead of having to like at them side by side you compare them on the same star which I thought was actually smart. This particular picture came from a NASA website. In this picture the most disirable spot is the middle. This star plot shows changing one thing (to better it) about the approach will worsen another thing in most cases.
