Star plots allow people to compare a number of variables without having to read a number of different graphs or articles about each variable. The star plot above compares sixteen automobiles from 1979 with the nine different variables that are listed. Each variable comes out of the radii from the center. The further it comes out of from the center means the better it is as far as that particular variable is concerned. For example the Buick Electra is great with every variable given except miles per gallon.
