Description: Interactive dynamic graphics program for data visualization
 XGobi is an interactive dynamic graphics program for data visualization 
 in the X Window System. It is especially designed for the exploration of 
 multivariate data. Its basic plot is a scatterplot, and these are some of
 the tools available for scatterplot display and manipulation:
  - Cycling rapidly through two-variable scatter plots.
  - Three-dimensional rotation, including trackball control.
  - Grand tour rotation: a smooth randomized sequence of two-dimensional
    projections in order to explore a higher-dimensional point cloud.
  - Brushing: the ability to change the color or plotting character of a
    point or a group of points. 
  - Scaling: moving and reshaping the plot interactively.
  - Identification: displaying an label next to a point in the plot window.
  - Linking: Brushing, identification and touring are linked; that is,
    actions in the window of one XGobi process are immediately reflected 
    in another XGobi window displaying the same data.
  - Line editing: Any pair of points can be connected with a line segment.
  - Transformation: A menu of data transformations is available.
  - Postscript plotting: The contents of the plot windows can be written 
    out to postscript files for high-quality plotting.
  This package also contains an interface which enables the GNU R language
  and environment to pass data to xgobi.
