Madras Plaid

What's the difference between tartan, madras, and plaid?

Is there a distinct difference between the three, or are the names interchangeable?

Thanks!
Ok thanks for the visuals, I see madras is clearly the most distinct of the three.

But then what would differentiate between tartan and plaid, the differences appear to be very subtle.

The differences are visual. I lack the vocabulary to describe the differences. Are the names interchangable? Hmm... I wouldn't say so, unless you are talking to like a teenager.

----Ok you are correct in examining them closer, They are exactly the same. http://www.scottishtartans.org/faq.html Here there is a question that asks and from what I'm understanding is that they are exactly the same the thing....Odd...
