1. A method for displaying actual performance information of a work vehicle on a display device, the method comprising:
- establishing performance variables associated with the work vehicle;
detecting corresponding levels of the established performance variables;
assigning points in image data or a graphical data representation associated with the detected corresponding levels;
interconnecting the points in the image to form a performance polygon indicative of a collective level of performance of the performance variables; and
displaying the performance polygon on the display device in real time such that the performance polygon dynamically changes in shape based upon the detected corresponding levels of the established performance variables at a given point in time, wherein the displaying comprises displaying at least two performance polygons on the display device, with each respective performance polygon being related to a different work vehicle; and
displaying a relative position of each associated work vehicle with respect to one another concurrently with the displaying of the at least two performance polygons.

Abstract
A method and system for displaying information related to a work vehicle comprises sensors for detecting levels associated with corresponding performance variables. An assignor assigns points in an image or graphical data representation associated with corresponding detected levels. A graphical module interconnects the points in the image to form a performance polygon indicative of a collective level of performance of the performance variables. A display is arranged for displaying the performance polygon to a user.

8. A method for displaying actual performance information of a work vehicle on a display device, the method comprising:
-
establishing performance variables associated with the work vehicle; detecting corresponding levels of the established performance variables; assigning points in image data or a graphical data representation associated with the detected corresponding levels; interconnecting the points in the image to form a performance polygon indicative of a collective level of performance of the performance variables; and displaying the performance polygon on the display device in real time such that the performance polygon dynamically changes in shape based upon the detected corresponding levels of the established performance variables at a given point in time, wherein the assigning further comprises; plotting a detected level of a first performance variable as a first pixel or pixel cluster with an assigned pixel state along a first horizontal axis; plotting a detected level of a second performance variable may be plotted as a second pixel or pixel cluster with an assigned pixel state along a first vertical axis; and plotting a third performance variable may be plotted as a third pixel or pixel cluster with an assigned pixel state along a second vertical axis that is parallel to the first vertical axis.
