A method for plotting a distribution area of a plurality of data points
each having two paired variables in a scatter diagram includes (a)
dividing a distribution of data points into at least two division areas
in one or more radial directions of the distribution of data points from
an arbitrary first central dividing point and selecting a data point
having a longest distance from the first central dividing point in each
of the division areas as a representative point of the distribution of
data points, and (b) plotting a distribution area representing line by
sequentially connecting the selected representative points in respective
division areas.
