About DataMelt

DataMelt is a free, multi-platform environment for numeric computation, statistics, data analysis, and visualization.

DataMelt (DMelt) is a free, open-source computational platform for scientists, engineers, and students, focused on numeric computation, data analysis, and scientific visualization. It uniquely combines the power of the Java ecosystem with the simplicity of popular scripting languages like Python (via Jython), Groovy, and Ruby. This allows users to leverage tens of thousands of Java classes for high-performance tasks while writing code in a more accessible scripting environment. The software is cross-platform, running on Windows, Linux, macOS, and even Android through its 'AWork' port. While the core community edition is free under a GPL license, DataMelt offers a membership model that provides access to extended documentation, more examples, and a commercially-licensed version for use in closed-source projects. The platform is designed to be portable, requiring no installation. It is a powerful tool for statistical analysis, data mining, and creating publication-quality graphics.
