<p>I wouldn't recommend reposting this question on Cross Validated. First, cross-posting is not the way to go. Second, it is overly broad and does not focus on specific issues related to data analysis. <code>big-list</code>-like questions are <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/98366/150510">not a good fit for this type of Q&amp;A site</a>, which is probably why the question was closed on SO despite the huge traffic there. Another reason not to migrate is that it was posted long ago and it is has attracted a large number of upvotes on SO. </p>

<p>I am not saying that responses were bad, or that the question itself might not be interesting (provided it was more firmly delineated: e.g., "what are good alternatives to scatterplot when one wants to study covariation between skewed numerical variables", or "beside scatterplot, what are good way to highlight a trend between two series of hourly measurement", or "under which conditions does it help to also display marginal densities in a scatterplot", etc.--where discussions on pros and cons, and on-line references, are expected). As it stands, this question just call for a list of nice visual displays which are unlikely to help future users with a specific problem in mind.</p>
