I've been trying to learn more about data visualization, and Maria Popova (@brainpicker) recently pointed out a site (the Selected Tools page at datavisualization.ch) with a collection of pointers to visualization tools that look amazing. The screen capture above shows only a few of the tools that are listed. (Click on the image for a full-size screen capture that will be easier to read.)I already use ColorBrewer (via RColorBrewer in R), and I've heard of a couple of the others (D3.js and Google Refine), but there are many others that look extremely powerful and flexible. Most are intended for visualization on the web, rather than for statistical graphics, but I'm going to have to take a closer look at several of them to see if - how - I might be able to use them.
