[an error occurred while processing this directive] Software libraries for scientific data processing and visualization require you to write computer programs to access their interface and facilities. For simple tasks, this might sound over kill. For complicated or routine works, it might be a good idea to invest some time initially, developing a processing/visualization program with the help of software libraries listed here. Search SAL:
