Parallel Coordinates

http://www.juiceanalytics.com/writing/parallel-coordinates/

This is a map of parallel coordinates.  This is an example of automobiles, where there are many variables to determine the performance of a car.  Each of the vertical axis represents the range of values for a parameter.  These include number of cylinders, displacement, weight, horsepower, acceleration, mpg, year and origin.  It would be ideal to have a car which performs great in each category, but there are always compromises, cut the performance in one aspect to boost the performance in another.  This chart helps illustrate the differences.
