A Suggestion for Sunflower Plots
Mark F. Schilling, Ann E. Watkins · The American Statistician · 1994
Although sunflower plots are highly effective for displaying bivariate data with coincident observations, they possess certain disadvantages involving graphical perception of data. Moreover, sunflower plots for data that arrive “on line” can be updated only by completely redrawing the affected sunflowers. We propose a variation of the traditional sunflower plot that addresses these issues.
