It is free and available on the SCRIPPS web site (email me if you can't find the exact page). Just a comment on 3D data presentation. I think that nothing looks more convincing on a 3D dot plot. Its hard to tell where the points are with respect to different axis. If you look at a 3D cube you can look at it in different ways and the back comes to the front and the front goes to the back. Also, populations tend to obscure other populations. 3D histograms suffer from similar problems but are usually clearer to read. 3D dot plots are usually just a mess. Just my 2 cents, -Dave
