Hello there!

I’ve registered a small package intended to simplify generating visualizations of medium dimensional data (~1-6 dimensions): [PlotAxes](https://github.com/haberdashPI/PlotAxes.jl). I find it handy during interactive, exploratory data analysis. You can plot an `AbstractArray`, or, if you want the axes labeled in the plot, an `AxisArray`. For example:

```julia
using PlotAxes, AxisArrays, Gadfly # replace Gadfly with VegaLite or RCall as desired

plotaxes(AxisArray(rand(10,10,4,2),:time,:freq,:age,:gender))

```

Very nice!

I wonder whether one could make good use of vega-lite’s [interactive](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/docs/selection.html) features here.

Cool idea! I haven’t experiment much with those, but I imagine they wouldn’t be hard to include.

Could you share a screen shot / animation on the GitHub page?  
It would be beneficial for potential users.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve added a screenshot to the README.
