Visualizing a 5x5x5 data set I'm trying to visualize a matrix of 3 datasets.* For the sake of example, let's say I have a list of hats, coats and shoes, and I want to display a 2D grid/visualization of each possible combination.
Is it even possible without turning it into a 5x25 grid?
I had a look at this thread:
Visualizing multi-dimensional data (LSI) in 2D, but from what I understand that one is about plotting as opposed to showing the fields in a grid/table of some sorts.
(*) I think i'm using the wrong terminology here, what I mean isn't about drawing points in a graph but rather a way to illustrate the data set in a meaningful matter that still allows for editing 
Edit: This might explain what i'm trying to do:
    +------+------------+-------------+------------+
    |      | hat        | shirt       | shoe       |
    +------+------------+-------------+------------+
    | red  | red hat    | red shirt   | red shoe   |
    +------+------------+-------------+------------+
    | blue | blue hat   | blue shirt  | blue shoe  |
    +------+------------+-------------+------------+
    |green | green hat  | green shirt | green shoe |
    +------+------------+-------------+------------+
    |black | black hat  | black short | black shoe |
    +------+------------+-------------+------------+

... but with 3 data sets instead of just colors and clothes.
 A: You could just have 5 rectangles, the the first being
+------+----------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+
|Babies| hat                  | shirt                  | shoe                  |
+------+----------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+
|red   | red hat for babies   | red shirt for babies   | red shoe for babies   |
+------+----------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+
|blue  | blue hat for babies  | blue shirt for babies  | blue shoe for babies  |
+------+----------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+
|green | green hat for babies | green shirt for babies | green shoe for babies |
+------+----------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+
|black | black hat for babies | black short for babies | black shoe for babies |
+------+----------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+

And the next being similar but being boys instead of babies, then girls, then men, then women. 
A: Use a 2D plot, and use a color scale to represent the 3rd dimension.  You could also try varying the symbol used to represent your points, or change the size of the marker.
