Parallel Coordinates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Parallel coordinates is a plotting technique for plotting multivariate data.
It allows one to see clusters in data and to estimate other statistics visually.
Using parallel coordinates points are represented as connected line segments.
Each vertical line represents one attribute. One set of connected line segments
represents one data point. Points that tend to cluster will appear closer together.

.. ipython:: python
from pandas import read_csv
from pandas.tools.plotting import parallel_coordinates
data = read_csv('data/iris.data')
plt.figure()
