Star Plot




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_chart


Star plots give the ability to provide a multitude of different amounts of information.  Each "star" represents a specific piece of information.  These stars are aligned with each other so they can each be compared against one another.  The example provided shows 7 different aspects of MER IDD and Automated Designs provided by NASA.  Each star is given a specific color to distinguish it from the other stars.  By using different stars to represent data this map can be considered a star plot.
