Star plots are graphical representation of portraying different variables for each ray of the star that is shown. Star plots are useful when the scales all have the same direction so you no when they are increasing or decreasing. For example the star plot above is a plot for automobile data, each of the stars represent a different kind of car and characterize by the lightest being at the top and the heaviest being at the bottom. Variables at the side are related to the size of the vehicle and others are for the price and performance.
