What "tools" are available within pure mathematics to visualize more advanced topics?

What "tools" exist within mathematics to visualize concepts for more advanced areas of mathematics, particularly within Analysis, Topology and Algebra ? Furthermore, can one rigorously integrate such "visual tools" within proofs?

As an example here are some that I've encountered so far:,

  • I've seen commutative diagrams for compositions of maps.
  • Another example is the following: If $X, W \subset \mathbf{R}^2$ are subsets of the plane, we can draw a picture of a map $f : X \to W$ by colouring $X$ with some pattern, and then colouring each point $(u,v)= f(x,y)$ by the same colour as $(x,y)$ as shown in the free book Stokes’s Theorem (Benjamin McKay) (on pages 3-4).

Edit: By visualization, I mean anything that conveys information diagrammatically or without the use of words, which hold true for the examples I provided.
