If it doesn't require a Cocoa app, there's also tools tuned for 2D/3D
visualization like Processing. It's very easy to get into, but since
it's based on Java, you can dig deeper. There are several libraries
that increase its usefulness, including one which apparently adds

Hi Adam,
Happy New Year to you too!
Go for OpenGL. If you choose something else, you might run into
problems along the road.
I know OpenGL can handle both 2D and 3D, and you get a fairly good
support from samples on the Web.

Hi Ken,
The Particle Swarm patch in QC is exactly the sort of visual effect I'm
looking for, but unfortunately it seems like a closed box in terms of being
able to place each particle yourself. You can decide where the swarm is and
how it behaves, but not in a way that would let my algorithm place

OpenGL has a steep learning curve, but it’s the only truly 3D
framework out of all of these mentioned. Quartz is 2D-only, and only
wraps OpenGL as a matter of performance and/or convenience;
CoreAnimation is a really clever system for compositing 2D layers in
3D; managing the drawing yourse
