Inexpensive / free-ware similar to IDL? [message #17210] Tue, 21 September 1999 00:00 Go to previous message

I am looking for inexpensive solutions for data analysis, other than IDL,
but similar in
capability.

IDL has been a wonderful tool and has enormous strengths, but individuals
cannot
afford it. I have used it for over a decade while I worked at govt.
sponsored/educational
labs. Its flexibility is addictive. Having moved over to the private
sector, and switching
fields, in a different area of data analysis things are different! Many
folks have not heard
of IDL, and when informed of its use are able to nod in appreciation but
quickly loose interest
because it is way too pricey! and very compareable to the price of some
workstations.

I am not sure how many folks out there use ANA http://ana.lmsal.com/ It
has the potential for
a robust freeware and needs lots of work. Are there similar freeware
packages? I am also
aware of xmgrace, xmgr, etc for less intensive applications. Suggestions
appreciated
