Star plot

http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/starplot.htm
A star plot allows multiple variables to be compared at once, and then related to the same variables on other star plots. For example, these star plots track data points such as cost, mpg, weight, repair record, and other automobile information. Thinking of the graph as a center point with a line extending in a specific direction for each data point, each specific star plot takes on a shape that can be compared to another within the same criteria. Thus it becomes extremely easy to compare the different automobiles in this image visually.
