Triangular plot

A triangular plot graphically depicts the ratios of the three variables as positions in an equilateral triangle. In this case the graph depicts the colors red, blue, and yellow and the combinations of the three. In this type if triangular graph each variable has its own axis but the graph remains on a single plane.

Scatterplot

In a scatter plot the data is displayed as a collection of points, each having the value of one variable determining the position on the horizontal axis and the value of the other variable determining the position on the vertical axis. This scatter plot shows the relationship between waiting time between eruptions and eruption duration of Old Faithful.

Index value plot

An index value plot is a type of visualization map that is plotted on a line graph.This graph shows relative daily index closings from 1992-2004 for Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the U.K., and the U.S. An index is defined as a statistical indicator/number derived from a formula, which is used to characterize a set of data.
