Hi again
Thank you Goswin and Alexander for nice ideas. I will do something into
these directions.
About the idea below. Debian and more or less Linux has now been banned
from my institution even if I have been able to solve a lot of peoples
problems with it.
Looking at a guy copying plots directly from some commercial program into
Word on a Windows computer, 10 to 100 times faster than I can do with gnuplot
makes me wonder if I am on the right track. The programs that I have
mentioned need to work on Debian and they need to work better with open
source programs if I will be able to continue use Debian or even Linux for
the desktop applications. I could switch to Windows, get a perfect GUI and
run the calculations on a Linux backend as most people do. It might save me
time.
I don't know gnuplot - perhaps that one is particularly tricky.
Stuffing graphichs into a wordprocessor document on linux
tends to be easy enough though.
Now, microsoft is good at making things seem userfriendly,
but the guy above have at least one problem. He's stuck
with mediocre "word quality" documents. The open source
world does much better than that with latex, and
you may use lyx as a frontend to latex to get the userfriendly part.
