Heat Map To Visually Detect Spam Across Networks
X-axis is time, Y-axis is first byte of IP address. The value in each cell represents the ratio between "observed transaction count" and "expected transaction count". Red cells show abnormal spikes in activity, and are suspicious.

You can also use 'treemaps'. For example with the tool TreeMaps developed by Uni Maryland. No developments are done at this point (as far as I know), but the tool is freely downloadable for testing (http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/treemap). Upload a column based data file and you can slice and dice all you want and get these type of trends. Pretty cool I think.
A nice history about these objects can be found at http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/treemap-history.

You can also write custom S codes to produce similar graphs

I was told that Tableau (a data mining vizualization software) offers similar features.

The "expected count" for cell xy was computed using as the product of x- and y- marginal counts divided by total count.

It was produced with the new version of Excel (.xlsx), with conditional formatting of the cells based on cell value. Then I selected a range of cells, cut and paste from Excel into Paintbrush, and saved it as an image (png format, a format that I strongly recommend for images).
