When I looked at it (admittedly about 4 years ago so my memory can be
faulty) it didn't handle non-image data very well.  I like arrays, up
to 5 dimensions, of simple data types.

My preference these days would be to look at OpenDX (www.opendx.org)
which is IBM's open sourced Data Explorer.  I know it can handle
structure visualization since that's what Cornell did.

Another option (costs major $$) is AVS.  That's what Scripps uses
in-house for structure visualization.

I think they can be useful and would like to experiment with them.
Just haven't had the time so far :(
