statistics package like Spotfire for Linux?

Anyone?  I used Spotfire while ago while still in school.   It's a really powerful data visualization tool.  Right now I have some pretty big datasets that I'd like to visualize graphically (xy-plot and histograms).  Graphing them in oo calc is very limiting and it doesn't do histograms at all.  Spotfire did each of these with several mouse clicks.  Is there anything like it that runs on Linux?  I haven't found much.

I'd like something with a GUI which rules out most of what I've found which seem to be heavily shell based software (gnuplot for example).

Re: statistics package like Spotfire for Linux?

I don't know Spotfire, but you might look at gnuplot in conjunction with QOctave (a grpahic front end to Octave a [Matlab clone]), and XMaxima or WXMaxima (graphic front ends to Maxima [A symbolic math package])

Edit: fixed a typo
