Visualizing the Density of a Data Cloud

(Originally posted on Doug's MATLAB Video Tutorials blog.)

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).
