A database of 30,000 galaxies within a cube ±8,000 km s--1 centered at our position is used to illustrate the properties of the nearby structure in the distribution of galaxies. The data cube can be manipulated in ways that enhance the visualization of the structure with special software. The dominant regions of high density are the Great Attractor, the Great Wall, and the Perseus-Pisces complexes. There are many voids.
