I suppose this is not what you are looking for - or maybe?

Free <==> Cheap

Never used it, though. Seems to be well established in certain circles
(data analysis, statistics and more).

Cons: yes it involves programming (probably more like programmable
calculator than Java)

Pros: this means it should be possible to bend it to do whatever you
want rather than wait for some far away soul to add menu item in next
version
