'''Parallel coordinatesCoordinates''' areis a common waymethod of visualizing and analyzing [[multivariate data|high-dimensional datasets]] consistingwhere ofdata have multiple variables, or attributes, per entry.
 
To plot, or visualize, a set of [[point (geometry)|points]] in [[n-dimensional space|''n''-dimensional space]], ''n'' [[parallel (geometry)|parallel]] axes lines are drawn over the background, typically vertically oriented and equally spaced. A point in ''n''-dimensional space is represented as a single [[polyline]] with ''n'' [[vertex (geometry)|vertices]] placed on the parallel axes; vertices correspond to each [[coordinate]] of the n-dimensional point.
