I hardly know where to start either. I use R, Python, rpy, gnuplot-py and gnuplot together and am very happy with the result. I find that each piece has it own strengths and together they provide a very powerful solution. I am currently working on integrating TA-lib into this mix via a project started by Andrea Malagoli--see the r-sig-finance archives. http://rpy.sourceforge.net/ http://www.gnuplot.info/ http://gnuplot-py.sourceforge.net/ http://ta-lib.org/ jab -- John Bollinger, CFA, CMT www.BollingerBands.com If you advance far enough, you arrive at the beginning. ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
