I am looking for a program to visualize vector spaces. Ideally this is in the set of real numbers. For instance what shape does the following vertex in $\Bbb R^3$ represent? Vertices are: $\{(1,0,0),(0,2,0),(0,0,0)\}$
What is a good application for graphing vector spaces?

You can use pretty much anything for such a simple task. I give two examples of powerful and free software packages. One is Scilab:
created with
points = [0 0 0; 1 0 0; 0 2 0; 0 0 0]; // repeated endpoint to close the curve param3d(points(:,1),points(:,2),points(:,3)); // creates the plot p=get("hdl"); p.foreground=2; p.thickness=3; // cosmetics: color and thickness
The actual plot (but not this illustration) can be rotated with a mouse to better visualize the position of the points in space.
But if you prefer something with simpler syntax, the Sage command
point([(1,0,0),(0,2,0),(0,0,0)])
does the job.
