Is it possible to apply multidimensional graphs in Economics?
Yes it is possible and we may see more of it. Reading your work (i.e., Mario Arturo Ruiz Estrada on econographicology) opened my eyes to possibilities I had not considered.
Occasionally in Intermediate microeconomics, I am asked about multidimensional isoquants as I was last semester. Attempting to draw on can be challenging, especially freehand in response to a student's question. An advantage is that even when I do it badly and perhaps especially then, it make the mathematical alternative(s) more appealing.
I hope econographicology develops; it is interesting.
ํYES. Using multi-dimensional representation would give more information than what a two dimension structure would allow. For instance, GDP = C + I + G + X is generally graphed in 2D which is a drawing of a curve on XY-plane, but if it is graph in multi-dimensions we will see magnitude of each component graphically in "block" fashion. With more sophisticated computer-aided designs and modeling, we should expect to see more creative ways to present data. see attached file for DATA CUBE aspect of multi-dimensions modeling.

Certainly. Simple 3D graphics are available in Xcel. Mathematica, MatLab, and Numerical Algorithms Group have multi-dimensional plotting capabilities that work well with large data sets if you want to buy a license. I've used all of these programming tools but have migrated to Python-based Mayavi which is free. If you need ideas about how to plot particular economic relationships you might get some ideas from Edward Tufte, "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information," and his other books on the subject.
you can definitely use. you can use different statistical tools like SPSS, Eviews or GRETL
