A Star Plot is a type of map that allows its viewer to quickly compare the relative behavior of multiple variables in a given set of data. A Star Plot is comprised of multiple equi-angular spokes, called "radii". Each radii is responsible for representing a unique variable in a set of data.
This particular Star Plot displays 16 types of vehicles, and compares nine different qualities such as price, gas mileage, trunk space, etc. This Star Plot makes it relatively easy to draw multiple conclusions about each vehicle. For example, a quick glance at the Cadillac Seville's graph will tell you that it is one of the most expensive vehicles, it has an average repair record and below average gas mileage.
