Star Plots

http://visalix.xrce.xerox.com/index.php?page=help


This is an example of a star plot. I found this map to be very neat. It shows data in a three dimensional way so that you can see how everything is related. On most star plots, the end of the long axis' are labeled and the dots are the data. It is a map because it is displaying data in a three-dimensional way.

Correlation Matrix

This is an image of a correlation matrix. This shows the correlation between things and will tell you if two or more things are related. It is a map because it shows a lot of different information in one image.

Similarity Matrix

This is a similarity matrix. It shows correlations amongst different things. This similarity matrix map shows similarities in the amounts of amino acids. It is a map because it has mapped out the numbers over space. 

Stem and Leaf Plot

This is a Stem and Leaf Plot. It is a very clear way to show data. On the left hand side (stem) you have the first digit and that number is what all the numbers on the right (leaf) start with. So the stem with 9, have the numbers 90 and 94. This is a map because it easily shows information over space.

Box Plot

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot

This is called a Box Plot. The boxes represent data. The lines within the boxes represent the median of the data. The two edges of the boxes represent the range (highest and lowest) of that set. This graph represents the speed of light between different experiences.

Histogram

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogram

This is a histogram. It is another graphical representation showing a visual impression of certain data. It is an estimate of a probability. This graph is just a made-up graph showing the arrivals per minute of a certain something.

Parallel Coordinate Graph

This is a Parallel Coordinate Graph. While it looks like something made up or that you would see in a movie, if you can take it and dissect it, it makes more sense. It is good for showing bivariate information and how its related.
