# Plan Comparison

The scatter plot is used for plan comparison. Each green circle in the scatter plot represent a plan. Click the green circle to show the plan on the map. The two axes of the plot can be used to compare any two of the chosen criteria (e.g. population and compactness). By default, the x-axis is for population and the y-axis is for shape. 

For population criteria, the smaller value the better. For shape compactness, the larger value the better. Plans (green circles) in the scatter plot can then be compared.

A plan can also be selected and mapped by selecting from the drop-down box “**Sorted Plans**”. Plans can be sorted by one of the considered criteria (e.g. population, shape) or a weighted total of all criteria (i.e. “All”)
