Statistics package like Spotfire for Linux?

Anyone?  I used Spotfire while ago while still in school.   It's a really powerful data visualization tool.  Right now I have some pretty big datasets that I'd like to visualize graphically (xy-plot and histograms).  Graphing them in oo calc is very limiting and it doesn't do histograms at all.  Spotfire did each of these with several mouse clicks.  Is there anything like it that runs on Linux?  I haven't found much.
I'd like something with a GUI which rules out most of what I've found which seem to be heavily shell based software (gnuplot for example).

I don't know Spotfire, but you might look at gnuplot in conjunction with QOctave (a grpahic front end to Octave a [Matlab clone]), and XMaxima or WXMaxima (graphic front ends to Maxima [A symbolic math package])

  • An HTML-kit - like editor for Linux [SOLVED]

    In my workplace we are using Windows XP and there our editor of choice is HTML-kit. I like Gedit and Bluefish a lot in Linux but both are missing the feature I like the most in HTML-kit: the live FTP connection that makes all the files visible directly from FTP and then when I am editing them, they got directly uploaded to the FTP server. All without the need to manually ALT-TAB into an FTP client, find the proper file and upload it.
    Is there an editor that might do to the same thing in Linux?

    I know this isn't exactly what you want but I use Bluefish this way:
    I have a webserver where I upload my html files to and I do all the editing and have all source files on my laptop.
    To make things easier and avoid having to do the alt-tab thing you talked about I have created a small script that I run from within Bluefish to do the upload for me. The script is very simple... something like this:
    #!/bin/bash
    lftp -u username,password 192.168.0.2 <<EOF
    cd /home/httpd/html/
    put $1
    quit 0
    EOF
    In Bluefish under preferences->external programs you can then call this script by adding it to "utilities and filters" like this:
    "/home/user/ftp_upload.sh %s"
    The last step would be to create a short-cut key so that you only have to press eg Ctrl+g, or what ever you want, to save and upload the file you are currently working on.
    This method doesn't let you browse the remote ftp directory and edit files directly, but I find it to be a very smooth way to quickly edit and upload your local files to an ftp server.

  • SAP NetWeaver Gateway 2.0 Pre-Packaged Trial Version for Linux available

    The Linux version of SAP NetWeaver Gateway 2.0 Pre-Packaged Trial Version is available for release.

    Hi Thomas,
    We currently have three pre-packaged demo version available with slightly different favours. We are evaluating which ones we want to maintain currently and currently all 3 are at SP4 levels. So a questions back to you would be, if the Hyper-V image was dropped, would the Windows 64 bit version still work for you?

  • Video Converter like Super for Linux?

    I use Super by erightsoft to convert avi files into MP4's to view on the N95.
    Am now considering moving from Windows to Linux.
    Does anyone have any experience of a Linux video converter program that works?

    Maybe this?

    What specifically are you looking to do?  Integrate with iMovie?  Generically convert video between formats?

    John -
    You are missing some required Linux files. When you install
    Linux, pick the 'everything' option, then weed out the obvious
    things you don't want (like the Serbian How-To's, etc.)
    I say this because I ran into the exact same thing this past
    weekend after picking and choosing which packages to install for
    Linux. After re-installing with the 'everything' option, the
    Oracle install went swimmingly. I wish I could tell you which
    package in particular you are missing, but I never figured that
    out.

  • Oracle 8i for Linux is here!

    Looks like 8i for Linux is here. Check the download link on the
    left of this page. I ordered a CD a while back, but got an NT
    version. Anyone know if Oracle intends to send out the 8i/Linux
    CD to those that asked for it (during the EAP window)?
    null

    I had an Alpha I wanted to install 8i on under Linux, but at
    this point it only supports Linux on an Intel box. You may want
    to check the migration path to see if Oracle plans to port to a

  • AppX Packager: directory structure for referenced .dll(s)

    I'm trying to use precompiled NuGet packages, like zlib, for WinRT Universal App development. Everything installs and compiles just fine, but running app ends up with "Unable to locate DLL" exception. Apparently, zlib.dll ends up copied into AppX\bin\v120\Win32\Debug\dynamic\cdecl
    instead of just AppX. If I manually copy .dll to AppX folder, everything works as a charm.
    I've set up a test solution like that:
    TestDLL.Windows (a dynamic library project, referenced from TestDLLApp.Windows)
    TestDLL.WindowsPhone  (a dynamic library project , referenced from TestDLLApp.WindowsPhone)
    TestDLL.Shared (.dll shared codebase)
    TestDLLApp.Windows (a windows 8.1 app project)
    TestDLLApp.WindowsPhone  (a windows phone 8.1 app project)
    TestDLLApp.Shared (app shared codebase)
    Resources\DLL (a folder with .dll just for testing purposes)
    packages (this is where installed NuGet packages go)
    Observations:
    TestDLL output (testdll.dll) goes into AppX folder (correct)
    TestDLL referenced .dll from "Resources\DLL" folder goes into "AppX\TestDLL" (incorrect, unable to locate DLL)
    TestDLL NuGet .dlls go into folder like "AppX\TestDLL\bin\v120\Win32\Debug\dynamic\cdecl" (incorrect, unable to locate DLL) 
    TestDLLApp referenced .dll from "Resources\DLL" folder goes into "AppX" (correct) 
    TestDLLApp NuGet .dlls go into folder like "AppX\bin\v120\Win32\Debug\dynamic\cdecl" (incorrect, unable to locate DLL)
    What am I doing wrong? How to setup packager to output .dlls into AppX forder?

    Hi James,
    I'm afraid, NuGet packages are already implemented via custom build .target with conditional copy tasks:
    <Target Name="zlib_redist_AfterBuild_v120_and_Win32_and_Release_and_dynamic_and_cdecl" Label="v120 and Win32 and Release and dynamic and cdecl" Condition="( $(PlatformToolset.ToLower().IndexOf('v120')) &gt; -1 Or '$(PlatformToolset.ToLower())' == 'windowskernelmodedriver8.0' Or '$(PlatformToolset.ToLower())' == 'windowsapplicationfordrivers8.0' Or '$(PlatformToolset.ToLower())' == 'windowsusermodedriver8.0' ) And '$(Platform.ToLower())' == 'win32' And ( $(Configuration.ToLower().IndexOf('debug')) == -1 ) And '$(Linkage-zlib_redist.ToLower())' == 'dynamic' And '$(CallingConvention-zlib_redist.ToLower())' == 'cdecl'" AfterTargets="zlib_redist_AfterBuild">
    <Copy SourceFiles="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)../..//build/native/bin/v120\Win32\Release\dynamic\cdecl\zlib.dll" DestinationFolder="$(TargetDir)" SkipUnchangedFiles="true" />
    </Target>
    As I understand, $(TargetDir) is a root folder of a project output. I've looked through MSBuild output and seems that one to blame is .resfiles/.pri generator task. Here's what I see in generates layout.resfiles:
    TestDLL\bin\v120\Win32\Debug\dynamic\cdecl\zlib.dll
    I.e. MSBuild decides internal path for each file automagically. Any way to tune that?
    Interestingly enough, I've googled around and found no mentioning of this problem anywhere. Am I alone with this problem or no one uses prebuild NuGet packages in their WinRT development?

  • Lab SQL for Linux

    Hello
    Is there a LabSQL or something similar for linux?
    Best regards
    Andreas Beckman

    Hi again.
    Thanks alot for the time. It´s appriciated. Had a look at the open group and saw that they were supposed to do something like labsql for linux, "in the future" .
    However, until there is a better solution I can recommend that linux users use the psql client (for postgresql, there is probbably some client for mysql too) with the labview command line vi. If you allocate a bunch of data and send them thru the command line vi like once or twice a second it works quite well.
    Thanks
    Regards

  • Skype is dead for linux

    I run a radio station that is total linux, i use KX Studio since prior to the latest update Skype would work perfectly. Enter in 4.3 NOW ( Yes I shouted) Now by removing Alsa support Skype wont work at all on my studio computer. So I had to buy another box to run skype. 
    Another **bleep** by Micro$oft. The latest version WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO ADD A CALLTO A CONVERSATION. Again I was shouting because I am flipping mad. I am on with my cohost who lives in Mass. A caller wants to call in and there is no way to answer the call with out putting the original on hold. In 4.2 one would right click and choose invite to conversation.Since this **bleep** I have quit paying for skype. Why pay for it when I get no customer service  except "Jello Mah naaaame is John may assistance be with your Skype please issues?" Sorry for the sarcasim but the so called live help didn't even know what Linux was. He then suggested to go back to an earlier version. Uh Mr Johnny Skype was so kind to BLOCK 4.2 and below! Then this .....person suggested that I install WINDBLOWS on my computers!!!! Is there a work around or shall I continue my work on making Ekiga work on windows so I can open source it and my callers can call my show. (There is a windows version  it is just very weak. Hmmmm kind of like Skype for Linux!) May next thing to try is to re write the APK file to .deb and use the andriod version. Hey MICROSOFT Andriod is Linux!!!

    You are sooo right! I am a linux(ubuntu) user for 3 years, and started using skype 4 years ago. Well, last year i had it enough with skype so i moved on at Hangouts(Google), that they have an EXCELLENT support on Linux machines and it works perfectly, and also with my android(google) phone. And now *Βιtcη* im awesome and and i dont need a *bleep* from microsoft. Also i requested my 7 colleges to switch at Hangouts too so we can work there and guess what..  .. they did  So i have stopped using Skype, and everybody that says to me "Lets Skype!" i say "NO! Lets go Hangouts". Oh, and yes we do, and yes they like it, and yes they start using it...
    And this is how they lose costumers  
    (and *Βιtcη* i love it )

  • What can I do about paying for Office from a commercial store, and itunes charging $100 for smart converter, ms office package and pack for ms office $41.99? It surely looks like double dipping

    Hi folks, I am puzzled when looking at my itunes account. I bought a store office 365 package for $100, and in the process of installing it, somehow ended up with fees for smart converter, ms office package and pack for ms office, totalling another $90 from itunes. Isn't this double dipping and if so, how do I go about a refund? Thanks jby

    Well, MS Office 2004 is available for the Mac and being a user of both the Windows and Mac versions, I think that the Mac version has a slight edge. The only downside is that it does not come with MS Access so if you use that then you have to stay with the PC version.
    But... if you are set on mainly using Windows then paying a substantial premium just for a computer that looks good rather than on the fact that it runs OSX and hence great packages such as iLife etc is probably a waste. This is especially true when you have to remember that Apple will not give any technical support to users running Windows.. nil, nada, nowt! Likewise, Microshaft (sorry Microsoft) also seem unwilling to give support at this time since (for some strange reason) they don't like the idea of Windows on a Mac.
    As I see it, the main reason for Apple to release the ability to run Windows was to:
    a> Produce an 'official' version rather than have an unauthorised version 'in the field' which if problematic, could give Apple a bad name.
    b> Give people who would like to have a Mac but have the occassional program which has to be run under Windows, the ability to switch to a Mac.
    Option b was the reason why I switched from years on a PC to the Mac.

  • Please package Java ME SDK 3.0 for Linux/Unix

    Hi Oracle guys!
    Please package Java ME SDK 3.0 for Linux/Unix soon!
    It would be of benefit both to us developers, and to Oracle.
    Thanks!

  • Flash for linux .tar.gz package is still the old 346 version

    i trid to upgrade my flash, so i download the .tar.gz package from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ , after the file was installed, i loaded a flash video in firefox, and found the version is  11.2.202.346. i also downloaded the rpm package, the version is 356.
    i think the .tar.gz package should also be updated and i suggest that the version should be containded in the file name so that it is easy to distinguish.

    11.2.202.346 was and is the last version to be developed for Linux. There won't be any more.

  • Latest flashplayer package for Linux tar.gz appears to be defective.

    Yeah, I know those are strong words, so here's the story:
    In the past, the flashplayer package for tar.gz, the only version of flashplayer i know that installs in all Linux distros, has always unzipped into a directory containing two files, one of which is a script.   You CD to the directory, run the script, and flashplayer installs.
    Well, suddenly , there is no directory, and no script, just a single library file named flashplayer.so
    The installation instructions have not changed, however:
    "Installation instructions for tar.gz
    Click the download link to begin installation. A dialog box will appear                       asking you where to save the file.
    Save the .tar.gz file to your desktop and wait for the file to download                       completely.
    Unpackage the file. A directory called install_flash_player_10_linux will be created.
    In terminal, navigate to this directory and type ./flashplayer-installer                       to run the installer. Click Enter. The installer will instruct                       you to shut down your browser(s).
    Once the installation is complete, the plug-in will be installed in your Mozilla browser. To verify, launch Mozilla and choose Help > About Plug-ins from the browser menu."
    The directory is mentioned, and so is the script, but those things aren't in the file anymore.  So yeah, something's seriously messed up, and has been for weeks.  I'm wondering if someone can maybe tell me if there's a place on the web where I can find the previous version.

    11.2.202.346 was and is the last version to be developed for Linux. There won't be any more.

  • Is Oracle9i Enterprise for Linux packaged right?

    I've downloaded Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz several times, but when I
    try to gunzip it I get an "Unexpected end of file message"-
    If this is a problem that only I'm getting, why don't you package
    Disk1 and Disk3 in one Disk file, Disk 1 has 412 MB and Disk3 has
    82 MB, so together they fit in one CD.
    I really think that there's a problem.
    Thanks

    May I then suggest that you change the directions for extracting the files ?
    At http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/htdocs/linuxsoft.html you explicitly state:
    Directions to extract the files
    1. Run "gunzip <filename>" on all the files.
    - Eg.: gunzip Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz
    2. Extract the cpio archives with the command "cpio -idmv < <filename>"
    - Eg.: cpio -idmv <Linux9i_Disk1.cpio
    3. Please read Oracle9i Database Release Notes Release 9.0.1 for Linux before installing
    Which is obviously incorrect.
    Regards
