'''Parallel Coordinates''' plots are a common method of visualizing [[multivariate data|high-dimensional datasets]] to analyze [[multivariate]] data having multiple variables, or attributes.
 
To plot, or visualize, a set of [[point (geometry)|points]] in [[n-dimensional space|''n''-dimensional space]], ''n'' [[parallel (geometry)|parallel]] lines are drawn over the background representing [[coordinate]] axes, typically oriented vertically with equal spacing. Points in ''n''-dimensional space are represented as individual [[polyline]]s with ''n'' [[vertex (geometry)|vertices]] placed on the parallel axes corresponding to each [[coordinate]] entry of the ''n''-dimensional point, vertices are connected with ''n-1'' polyline segments.
