Help! Please recommend good books/resources on visualizing data and understanding multivariate relations...

I am looking for books/pointers/resources/tutorials on visualizing
complex/big data and on understanding multivariate relations in
complicated data.

Michael,

   You need to become familiar with the works of Edward Tufte, the dean of
complex data visualization <www.edwardtufte.com/>.

   "Edward Rolf Tufte is an American statistician and professor emeritus of
political science, statistics, and computer science at Yale University. He
is noted for his writings on information design and as a pioneer in the
field of data visualization." -- Wikipedia

   Happy reading!

Subject: [R] Help! Please recommend good books/resources on visualizing

Hi all,

Could you please help me?

I am looking for books/pointers/resources/tutorials on visualizing
complex/big data and on understanding multivariate relations in
complicated
data.

More specifically, we have categorical variables and are interested in
how
to visualize the categorical data and visualize data conditioned upon
categorical values.

Could anybody please give me some pointers?

Thanks a lot!

I'm a fan of Ggobi--which works well with or without R--but I'm not sure how
it handles enormous data sets. I second the Tufte recommendation, and add: 
Interactive and Dynamic Graphics for Data Analysis.
