Star Plot

 A star plot allows you to show the value of different variables and then compare their relationship. This star plot shows the  different design possibilities of robots for NASA. As we see in the star plot, all the robots were very strong in some areas but performed low in others.

Triangular Plot

A Triangular plot is usually a graph of 3 variables, which is sometimes used in  geologic studies to show the comparative compositions of like rocks and soils.  They also can be used and applied to any kind of system using three variables. This is a diagram of the Hmax off Kauai for various slip allocations between three Aleutian Sources.

Unstandardized Choropleth Map

Unstandardized Choropleth maps are maps that demonstrate information without averaging the data, in no sort of way using raw numbers. This detailed map shows the population in Europe.
