S-PLUS(r) 6 For UNIX.MathSoft, Inc Data Analysis Division, bye introduced S-PLUS 6 for UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). , an enhancement to the company's statistical data mining software. The release features a new Java-based point-and-click user interface to simplify access, analysis, and visualization of technical and business data. A new integration method, called CONNECT/Java, allows software developers to enhance the analytical and graphics capabilities within their applications by embedding the S-PLUS engine. S-PLUS 6 offers innovative visualization capabilities including a new form of Java-based graphic, called Graphlets, which makes it easy to deploy interactive, drill-down graphics via Web pages. S-PLUS includes a suite of flexible and sophisticated data display techniques to transform quantitative information into easy to understand charts, using multiple tabbed pages. A new Java-based graphics device allows users to export graphs in file formats such as JPEG JPEG in full Joint Photographic Experts Group Standard computer file format for storing graphic images in a compressed form for general use. JPEG images are compressed using a mathematical algorithm. , TIFF, PNG (Portable Network Graphics) A bitmapped graphics file format endorsed by the World Wide Web Consortium. It is expected to eventually replace the GIF format, because there are lingering legal problems with GIFs. , PNM PNM Public Service Company of New Mexico PNM People's National Movement (Trinidad) PNM Perpustakaan Negara Malaysia (National Library, Malaysia) PNM Price Negotiation Memorandum , and Windows BMP (1) (BitMaP) Also known as a "bump" file, it is the native, bitmapped graphics format in Windows. A BMP can be saved in several color options: 1-, 4-, 8- and 24-bit color provide 2, 16, 256 and 16,000,000 colors respectively. BMP files use the .BMP or . formats, in addition to live Graphlets. S--PLUS 6 for UNIX will initially be available for Linux and Solaris. Versions for other UNIX platforms will be made released over the coming months. S--PLUS and StatServer(r) are based on S, an object-oriented language licensed from Lucent Technologies specifically for data visualization, exploration and programming with data provides an object-oriented environment designed for interactive data discovery. |
