This document discusses and compares two interactive data visualization software packages: GGobi and Mondrian. It outlines their key features such as basic plotting elements, updates, types of plots supported, file connections, performance, and speed when handling larger datasets. While GGobi was one of the earlier packages and is no longer maintained, Mondrian is still actively developed and has additional functionality like 3D plots, maps, and better support for larger datasets.
