From page 34...
... Packages are usually not extensible, so that custom features cannot be added easily. Some tools cannot handle three-dimensional data sets or animations.

From page 35...
... If scientific visualization is made part of the publication process, it will no longer be just a tool for exploring data sets but a key component of scientific research and communication. Lastly, color is often used in visualization to represent the underlying data.
