Some of you might like to know about ggobi, interactive data visualization software written in gtk. It's designed for the exploration of multivariate data, and its display methods include barplots for exploring 1 variable at a time, and high-dimensional rotation for exploring several few variables at once. The available interactions include painting, labelling, and manual control of rotation.
Its preferred data format is in xml. (The sample data files included with the code may be the best way to learn the xml format.) It can be extended using plugins. (I've been especially interested lately in plugins for graph visualization, including graph layout.) It can be driven using an API -- we've tested that the most extensively using the R software, and we hope to make the API available from perl or python, too. To learn about it or try it out, see www.ggobi.org. Caveats: If you build it on a unix machine using gtk1, you should have good results. Things will become more uncertain if you want to use the Windows version (about six months out of date), the API, or some of the more experimental plugins.
