Roughly 5 years ago, a Spotfire rep at the Joint Statistical Meetings
told me they routinely interfaced with both R and S-Plus. I'm not 100%
certain, but I believe they have many customers who use that facility
today. Spencer

Peter et. al:
1. I agree with Duncan: wrong list.
2. AFAIK, Spotfire **already** can interface with R.

Dear R users,
I have been using R for 10 years, and I love it very much. But in my daily
job for drug discovery, some people use Spotfire. I tried Spotfire on
couple of data sets. It sounds I still need do some data manipulation
before plot figures. For example, I can not plot figure with data arranged
in rows (is this true, or I am stupid?). So far I don't feel any benefit
Spotfire can provide over R. I am just wondering whether it just because I
am new to Spotfire, or it's true that Spotfire is not a good tool for
statistician.
Also could anyone give me any suggestion how to learn Spotfire?
Shouldn't you be asking this question to Spotfire users?
Just to clue in the casual reader, Spotfire embeds a version of S+, which is,
er, sort of, like, a predecessor to R, so John is not completely off target.
Documents comparing R and S+ should be useful to him. There are books that are
"bilingual", such as Venables and Ripley MASS and S Programming, but I also
spotted this on TIBCO's own site:
http://spotfire.tibco.com/community/blogs/stn/archive/2010/11/04/differences-between-r-and-spotfire-s.aspx
Also, there are (claimed to be) facilities to integrate R itself in Spotfire,
which could be a rather expedient solution.
