Vaex is a program (and Python library) to visualize and explore large tabular datasets using statistics on an N-dimensional grid. It mainly renders histograms, density plots and volume rendering plots for visualization in the order of 109 rows in the order of 1 second. For exploration it support selection in 1 and 2d, but it can also analyse the columns (dimensions) to find subspaces which are richer in information than others.
