Have a little patience - DX can't be learned in one hour, but the amount of time it will save you later maybe worth the investment, depending on your application. DX's strength isn't in making plots and its true there is little analysis in the traditional sense, but you can extend DX and write your own modules or link in your code (though it doesn't sound like your in the mood).
