GGobi: Another Data Explorer

While exploring the links from the Feb. 17 lecture (Introduction to Data Mining), I came across another visualization tool for highly dimensional data that I like very much.

It's not useful for making movies or detailed simulations, but I think it's going to be useful for exploring data sets that are so large you don't even know what you have (or expect!). There are a bunch of extensions to it in R and the website also says that you can extend it in Python and a few other languages.

It's called GGobi and you can find out more about it here: http://www.ggobi.org/

It's open-source and, therefore, free.
