The Analysis of Variance is a robust tool for comparing significant difference between means of multiple series. The paper discusses an existing graphical tool that can be considered as a visual counterpart for the same purpose, and proposes some extensions to the plot. The jittered plot for different factors each at two levels along with their means and corresponding confidence intervals is the maximum extension that is been discussed in the paper. Software is also developed using Visual Basic 6.0 that can be used for drawing the jittered plot along with all the discussed extensions. The plot drawn in the software is compatible with other word processors. Thus the reader can use his/her’s own data set and obtain the corresponding plot.
