I dare say you’ve failed to mention two important visualization libraries, both based on Leland Wilkinson’s Grammar of Graphics.

* Hadley Wickham’s ggplot2 library for R

Thanks for covering such a broad field of languages and including online services. One addition could be done: ModestMaps got converted to Processing as well and is as easy to use as the AS or Python versions. Thanks, –Benjamin Great collection!
