Parallel Coordinate Graph


Parallel coordinate maps show large sets of data that contain many variables. One line in the parallel will connect a series of variables of different values.

Scatterplot


A scatterplot uses Cartesian coordinates to display values for two variables for a set of data. It is displayed as a set of points each one has a value of one variable determining the position on the horizontal, while the other variable determines position on the vertical axis.

Index value plot

An index value plot is a visualization. It will help to show discrepancies within information. It can also show performance of data over a period of time.
