Each candidate is assigned a color and shown as a point, and every other point in the space is colored according to which candidate would win under a given voting method, if the center of public opinion were at that point. Typically, this forms large ''win regions'' of the same color. In other words, the candidates stay fixed, while the collective opinions of the voters move to every point in the space, testing who would win in each case.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4FXLQoLDBA|title=Animated Voting Methods|last=Frohnmayer|first=Mark|date=Jun 16, 2017|website=YouTube|publisher=Equal Vote Coalition|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-04-06}}</ref>

The diagrams can also be animated, quickly illustrating how the voting method would perform under many different scenarios (if the candidates held different sets of positions).<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPMks6afuM8|title=Yee Animations 0.8|last=Frohnmayer|first=Mark|date=May 30, 2017|website=YouTube|publisher=Equal Vote Coalition|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-04-06}}</ref>
