PV-WAVE
by
Visual Numerics
Version 7.5. It is an array-oriented programming language used to deploy visual data analysis applications. It has an interface to VTK.
Visualization Toolkit
(VTK) by
Kitware
VTK is modeled on a graphics pipeline, so that you make input sources that read your data, feed them to computational modules which transform the data, and then assign actors which represent that data as graphical objects. You can program it from C, C++, or any relevant scripting language. It is a little difficult to learn, especially if you have very particular visualizations in mind, but it is a powerful and free library.
