Star Plots

http://documentation.statsoft.com/STATISTICAHelp.aspx?path=Graphs/Graph/UnderstandingGraphs/Concepts/ConceptualOverviewsIconPlots

The plots above are an example of star plots. Each plots has 6 dimensions, or radii, and the point that is plotted on each radii is a measurement being made against that radii. For instance, the Caribbean island of St. Croix has high point values on three of its dimensions, meaning the data values for those dimensions are high. These dimensions could be measurements of the island's food, beaches, or night life. Star plots are great for comparing multiple variables, like islands, at one time.
