It shows what proportion of cases fall into each of several categories. There is a difference between a histogram and a bar chart in the sense that it is the area of the bar that dictates the value, not the height, which is a very important difference particularly when the variables are not all the same width.<br />http://www.daisy2000.com/Daisy2003/HorizontalHistogram.gifNoles949http://www.blogger.com/profile/07190201163983929959noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441983999261212388.post-49891725843042342192008-06-17T12:28:00.000-07:002008-06-17T12:32:33.463-07:00Parallel Coordinate Graph<a href="http://raffy.ch/blog/parallel.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://raffy.ch/blog/parallel.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />http://raffy.ch/blog/parallel.jpg<br />Multivariate relations are obtained through the use of these graphs.

For example here is a triangular plot of election votes. http://ex-parrot.com/~chris/images/20050407/triangle.pngNoles949http://www.blogger.com/profile/07190201163983929959noreply@blogger.com0
