R is a programming language. After I saw it referred to here, and a stats grad student recommended it, I have been using R quite a bit recently... but I am pretty sure I have barely scratched the surface. It is kind of a cross between Perl and Octave with more statistical analysis tools than _I_ know what to do with. If you are doing statistics, it is probably worth the effort. I am getting my data out of a SQL database, which gives me some added benefits, but R can do a lot of database-like operations on the data even after I extract it. --- Jeff NewmillerThe . .

ppmhist, very easy to use.

I use grace; however, it may overkill for just a few numbers.

Re: [vox-tech] Histograms on GNU/Linux?
I use Octave for 99% of my numerical work lately (www.octave.org). It has functions to produce histogram/bar plots. By default it uses gnuplot as its external plotter.
