Plotting data cubes

273 views Asked by At

Is there a way to plot data cubes with any kind of program? In order to plot this (1) image, I had to use TinkerCard, that by the way doesn't allow to put names along the data cube dimensions. Is there any kind of tool that allows do do something similar to (2) or (3)? Thanks in advance

I think this is a not possible.

The cubes which I play with all have atleast 10 dimensions.
The problem is that the short name, olap cube, suggests that some sort of pictorial representation is possible. I think it is maybe better to remeber them using the fuller name multi-dimensional cubes. Once past 3 dimensions I don't understand how it will be possible to draw a representative picture.

Saying all the above I have a book co-authored by Mosha Pasumadsky which contains some simple cube pictures similar to your picture. Also I attended a course run by Chris Webb and he used pictures of cubes to help our understanding. The pictures they have used are all very simplified, and of only small spaces within a full cube.
