Star Plots

http://what-when-how.com/statistics/skewness-to-systematic-review-statistics/

A star plot is useful when one wants to compare multiple variables. When a point is established for each variable and the lines are connected, a "star shape" is formed. The most desirable results lie directly in the middle. The length of each line is proportional to the value the variable it represents. The star plot shown above is data for air pollution in four different cities in the United States. Take note that Chicago's star looks much different than the other three.
