Rosy Robin Ross.
Rosy’s going riding on her red rhinoceros.

R is an excellent tool and another one which I highly recommend. There is some overlap, but I see the tools as complements—R picks up where gnuplot leaves off. Whenever I need to make histograms or do statistical analysis (vs. graphical analysis) I reach for R.

I didn’t mention it here because I didn’t want to steal the spotlight from gnuplot. Also because this is a book review about an awesome gnuplot book and I have yet to come across an awesome R book (though there are a few candidates I haven’t got my hands on yet).
