ggplot2 is a system written in R for declaratively creating graphics. It is based on The Grammar of Graphics, which focuses on following a layered approach to describe and construct visualizations or graphics in a structured manner. With ggplot2 you simply provide the data, tell ggplot2 how to map variables to aesthetics, what graphical primitives to use, and it will take care of the rest. ggplot2 is over 10 years old and is used by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world for plotting. In most cases using ggplot2 starts with supplying a dataset and aesthetic mapping (with aes()); adding on layers (like geom_point() or geom_histogram()), scales (like scale_colour_brewer()), and faceting specifications (like facet_wrap()); and finally, coordinating systems. ggplot2 has a rich ecosystem of community-maintained extensions for those looking for more innovation. ggplot2 is a part of the tidyverse, an ecosystem of R packages designed for data science.

SADSA (Software Application for Data Science and Analytics) is a Python-based desktop application designed to simplify statistical analysis, machine learning, and data visualization for students, researchers, and data professionals. Built using Python for the GUI, SADSA provides a menu-driven interface for handling datasets, applying transformations, running advanced statistical tests, machine learning algorithms, and generating insightful plots — all without writing code.

This is Slycat - a web-based data science analysis and visualization platform, created at Sandia National Laboratories. The goal of the Slycat project is to develop processes, tools and techniques to support data science, particularly analysis of large, high-dimensional data.
