=== OFF tools ===
+
To create visualisations the OFF tools are preferred, as they offer tight integration with the database. They are thus easy to create out of the box. The visualisations are limited to histograms and scatter plots. Fortunately the creating of sets allows to filter the OFF data in many ways.
+
The scatter plots have the additional advantage that clicking on a point allows access to the corresponding product.
+
+
== Third party tools ===
+
There are many, many third party tools available, which offer all kinds of other visualisations and presentation options. The huge drawback is that one has to import the data from OFF into these tools and that often additional crunching is required to get the data in the right format.

Some tools that are used:

=== Spreadsheets ===
+
* Excel
+
* Numbers for the Mac users

* Google sheets
