Parallel Coordinate Graph

A Parallel Coordinate Graph displays data with more than 2 dimensions. Each attribute is displayed as a vertical line, ranging from the lowest value of that attribute to the highest. It provides a relatively simple and quick way to view performance of multiple objects in relation to each other.
The example used portrays certain statistics of nine different baseball players. By observing this map it is clear that Ben Zobrist is the most reliable fielder out of the nine ball players, while Adam Dunn is clearly the worst.
