Star plots
Star plots use a graphic with spines emanating from the origin. Each spine represents a variable which corresponds to a color coding. This use of color-code reaches for a modified choropleth, but the information provided doesn't.

Similarity matrix
Stem and leaf plot
Box plot
Histogram
Parallel coordinate graph
This graph is used to plot multivariate datasets when pertaining to one applicable reference. It can be inferred that this graph is also a modified choropleth utilizing different color schemes for data and being classed at different intervals.

Population profile
This population profile shows the number of immigrants in 2004. The left side represents the male immigrants and the right side represents the female immigrants. The shape corresponding to the profile lends to infer that there were more middle-aged immigrants than older or younger ones.

Scatter plot
This example scatter plot shows a definite trend upward. Notice how the dots are closely knit together indicating a strong trend upwards. If the scatter plot dots were loosely decorated around the chart, the trend would be less strong and harder to determine.

Index value plot
Accumulative line graph or Lorenz curve
This lorenz curve shows the actual trend of %households vs %income. In a perfectly balanced economic society, the number of households would go up proportionally to the amount of income. This, of course, isn't the case which the Lorenz curve illustrates.

Isopach
Isopachs used in this image are clearly identified both for the land and marine applications it regards. The dots on the grid could loosely affiliate this image with a modified scatter plot, as well as a PLSS map with regards to the gridding.

Isobars
This visual shows the lines of constant pressure around a Low pressure somewhere over the Great Lakes. These visuals are useful in predicting weather movement and how either a High pressure of Low pressure will react with adjacent climate patterns.

Isoline Map
This particular isoline map shows the distribution of coverage, or in this case wind, over the continental United States. It can be seen through visual representation aided by color, that the vast majority of the mid-west will be experiencing some winds.

Proportional Circle Map
This map, using sometimes overlapping circles to signify same-coverage use, explains the internet usage in 2004 for Europe. It can be seen that only in certain areas does some coverage and usage overlap as represented by the circle map.

Choropleth Map
This map uses interval quantities and color shading to accurately define the regions (both county and subsequent state) that use farmland to grow certain crops. The crops are defined at the top, and intervals regarding acreage are labeled at the right using color-coding.

Dot Distribution Map
The population density is shown here through the close proximity of white dots. The larger the concentration of white area, the larger the population density. It can be inferred from this visual representation that the majority of people living in close quarters occurs on the eastern part of the United States, and on the west coast.

Propaganda Map
The title alone and derivative used to display (counties instead of lump sum state votes) suggests that the entire country voted for Bush in 2004. Using this form of coercion brings visual aid towards swaying a particular group of people when regarding a situation.
