Displaying this kind of data is often made by introducing two axes and ploting every point to the location which is given by the two attributes, i.e. using the first parameter for the x-axis and the second as a parameter to the second y-axis. The overall plot shows the relationship between all data pairs.
Color can be used as an additional perceptual resource, making the picture more easy to understand or to plot several points sets, each with a specific color. To avoid misunderstanding of an overloaded multiple set picture or to show cycles and trends more obviously the points of every point set can be connected using splines.
