Does anyone have ST code for displaying data graphically (e.g.,
histograms, scatterplots, etc.)?  I'd like to hear about it.  Thanks.

There a Smalltalk application package available called Analyst
which has been produced by XSIS which contains all Joe mentioned and
almost all you want producing documents out of a data base.

For more information write to LaPrade.pasa@Xerox.com.

As far as I know the price is around 5000 $.

Well, Xerox Special Information Systems (XSIS) markets a product called
"Analyst" which does all kinds of information management -- some of it
is much more complicated than the stuff you're probably looking for, and
the price tag is around $1K.  It does have a fairly complete graphic
plotting system, though.  I don't know of any others currently on the
market or in public domain except...

The "Orange Book" -- Smalltalk-80: The Interactive Programming
Environment, Adele Goldberg (Addison-Wesley) does have an example of a
quick and dirty BarChartView in the FinancialHistory example.  This
could easily be modified to be a LineGraphView without much effort.
