Browsing through the SPSS documentation available on the web, I
discovered some manuals I hadn't looked at before. A few are
interesting:
* The GPL Reference Guide, where GPL is Graphics
Production Language. This describes a simple but
powerful language for graphing. I bet that we'll want
to implement this at some point--it would make a nice
backing for a GUI for graphs--although it would be a
big project too.
I saw this, but haven't looked at it. I thought the acronym was
chosen rather gratuitously.
* The Tables reference guide. This describes the GUI
behind the CTABLES command syntax. I've been wrestling
with how to deal with table output for a while now
(well, *years*), and this might be nice to look at
while thinking about that.
Another interesting feature they've come up with recently is a
programmin API using Python. I thought this might be worth looking
at, but if we choose to implement it, then I think we should also do
bindings for guile and perl.
