The star plot consists of a sequence of equi-angular spokes, called radii, with each spoke representing one of the variables.  A star plot is a graphical method of displaying multivariate data in the form of a two-dimensional chart or three or more quantitative variables represented on axes starting from the same point.  Each star represents a single observation.  The example above is a star plot containing 16 cars and helps display each car's strengths and weaknesses.
