I had a doubt (it might be silly but I thought I should ask). One important feature of such a data visualization system is that it should not create confusion or represent something that the data is not. Consider the movie database example, when a user sees a plot of ratings vs year / genre vs lanuage, a lot of data points will overlap. So a lot of data will be hidden from the user at the first sight. What will a user make out of it? I know we handle such conditions by providing all the data instances when he clicks on the point but a user might not go that far. If he is not able to understand the initial plot he might not continue further ( like not zoom in/click data point). I am just a little concerned about the usability part and not the functionality.
I don't think that the plot contains all that. In the example I have seen, the X axis contained "year of release" and the Y axis was for "popularity level from 1 to 9".
There were buttons at the bottom to select genre but this was not part of the data points.
