New in 6.0: Data Visualization

Building on Mathematica's strengths in large-scale data handling, numerical optimization, and geometric computation, Version 6.0 brought a new level of automation to data visualizationwith major new original algorithms for graph layout, immediate surface reconstruction, automated labeling, seamless handling of unstructured data, geometrically driven interpolation, and automatic date plottingas well as major innovations in automated aesthetics.

ListPlot (modified) multiple dataset support, plot markers, stems, etc.

ListLinePlot plot lines through lists of points

ListLogPlot  ▪  ListLogLinearPlot  ▪  ListLogLogPlot  ▪  ListPolarPlot

ListPlot3D (modified) now supports general irregular datasets, smoothing, etc.

ListPointPlot3D 3D point scatter plot

ListSurfacePlot3D surface reconstruction from 3D points

ListContourPlot, ListDensityPlot (modified) now support irregular datasets, etc.

ListContourPlot3D 3D contour surfaces from 3D field values

ArrayPlot (modified) now supports symbolic values, sparse arrays, etc.

ReliefPlot simulated topographic relief

DateListPlot date and time plots

GraphPlot, GraphPlot3D lay out a general graph

LayeredGraphPlot draw a graph in a layered or hierarchical way
