Hi everybody! I am currently looking into using squeak for data analysis at work. At the moment, I mostly need to postprocess data files created by other programs and put graphs and overview tables into some kind of PDF report. Are there any existing solutions for such tasks? Later, I would like to move some of the code for data analysis from older C programs to Smalltalk. Is there a capable matrix/vector library, like numpy/scipy for python?
PlotMorph is very useful (http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2626). In addition to providing graphs in Squeak, I found out almost completely by accident that the data points on a PlotMorph graph are "live". You can click on one, then explore the objects that they refer to. This is quite useful if you have a large amount of data with relationships that may not be obvious.
