You would get a phenomenally misleading picture, no better than projecting three dimensional solid onto a line. There would all sorts of horrible intersections and singularities even in a representation of a smooth manifold. In my opinion this would be far worse than not having any picture at all. Actually, in some situations it is helpful to represent a number of parameters as one on a single axis, but you need a good insight into the situation to decide when this will be useful and which parameters should be groped together. But any such thing has to be very much tailored to a specific problem. Andrzej Kozlowski
