Star Plots

 
The star plot is a method of displaying multivariate data. Each star represents a single observation. Typically, star plots are generated in a multi-plot format with many stars on each page and each star representing one observation. Star plots are used to examine the relative values for a single data point and to locate similar points on not similar points. The above star plot is from NASA, with some of the most desirable design results represented in the center. Also a legend with different designs represented by different colors to be easier to distinguish.
