Norman Cook and his colleges in Japan have been studying triadic
consonance and have an app that generates quite interesting
2-D plots (Seeing Harmony). I don't have the reference to it handy,
but if one starts with the refs below and Googles, I imagine one could find it easy enough.

I found Takeshi Fujisawa's home page:

http://ist.ksc.kwansei.ac.jp/~nagata/fujisawa/home.htm

I don't see a link to the software, but as it's all Japanese I could be wrong. The papers below aren't linked correctly there, but are online.
