A graphical image providing single source viewing of multiple plant process operating parameters. The graphical image includes at least three rays having a minimum setting value and at least three status values responsive to at least three process plant input parameters. The graphical image further includes a polygon that is formed by linking the status values. Also provided is a method of creating the graphical image by initializing the number of rays, providing the minimum setting value and the maximum setting value, receiving input parameter values and processing the input parameter values to create status values. The gaphical image is then produced by forming non-collinear rays, the rays being defined by the minimum setting value and the maximum setting value. The associated status value is then represented on each ray and a polygon is formed by linking the status values. Further provided is a computer system and an electronic device for receiving input parameter data, processing the input parameter data into status value data, forming a graphical image, and displaying the graphical image in a tangible medium. The computer system includes one or more central processing units, a core logic chipset, a system bus, an input/output bus an input/output bridge and a peripheral component interface. The electronic device includes a data input data port, a data output data port, and a data processing circuit.
