More about the book

The book chronicles the development of a statistical graphics package, starting from early seminars in the 1980s to the creation of SYSTAT. It highlights the evolution of the graphics code from a sizable collection of procedures to a more efficient, object-based design in the 1990s, which streamlined rendering and editing through a tree structure. Collaborations in the late 1990s led to the creation of a Java-based graphics production library, GPL, with a significantly reduced code size, showcasing advancements in graphical components for statistical analysis.
