[an error occurred while processing this directive] You can use software packages in this section for scientific data processing and visualization. These packages are usually end user programs as opposed to software libraries . These packages have a shorter learning curve and are more user friendly. But, they may not be as flexible as a software library that you can link with your code. Search SAL:
