Practical Example: Visualizing the density of a data cloud

I was working with a MATLAB user that had a large number of data points in the form of x,y,z triples. He was mostly interested in the density of these data points over the range of the data. At first he tried to just do a scatter plot, but there was too much data to comprehend. Instead, I had him do a few different visualizations using histograms and Sliceomatic (download it here).

    Very useful! Thanks for telling us about Sliceomatic.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
