I'm looking for a good toolkit to do data analysis and present the results as .pdf
I'm looking for a toolset that will allow me to join diverse data sets in different formats (everything from .xls to netCDF aceDB and .dwx formats) So any suggestions you have are welcome, this is for a long term project, generally plan on mangling the data ( also known as statistical analysis) on server side, but want to have as platform independent a means of presenting conclusions as possible. More I learn about .pdf better I like it, the TeX to .pdf stuff I've seen hasn't really set my brain on fire, but if you know of any really good resources in that direction I'd like to hear them. Too bad .dvi hasn't conquered the universe, but the best can't be the enemy of the good (or something like that). http://www.efn.org/~laprice ( Community, Cooperation, Consensus http://www.opn.org ( Openness to serendipity, make mistakes http://www.efn.org/~laprice/poems ( but learn from them.(carpe fructus ludi)
