jdrago_999 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Monks -
I've been looking at GNU Octave, R, MatLab, etc. I (will soon) have lists-of-lists (matrices) that need to be permuted (as with Algorithm::Permute or List::Permutor::LOL ) - I have that part under control. However, for plotting (potentially) a huge amount of information over time, what do you recommend? What are my options? Most information I have found on Google appears informative but at the same time several years old. Benchmarks for Octave 2.x (current version is 3.x) or R v1.90 (current version is 2.6). MatLab looks fine, but we'd like to skip the $licensing fee if possible, while still getting access to the pluggable features (specifically the "Statistics Toolbox™"). Also, since our application will probably end up scaling out across several machines over time, I don't want to pay out the nose every time we bring another server online. Finally, if we find some way to contribute back to the community - either with code or documentation - I would like to help support something Free and Open Source if possible. So - what GUI options are available for GNU Octave, R, etc (for any platform - Mac, Linux, Windows) for "analysts not programmers" to get up-and-running? Thanks!
