Kiviat graphs: conventions and "figures of merit"

Published: 01 October 1974 Publication History

Abstract

Once in a very great while an idea comes along that quickly captures many imaginations. The circular graphic technique proposed nearly two years ago by Phil Kiviat, our illustrious Chairman, and very appropriately named "Kiviat Graphs" by our erst-while (and sorely missed) "Software Empiricist," Ken Kolence, is one of these ideas.
