Key features
What is unique about EasyPlot?
With most graphing programs, data goes into a spreadsheet and is then
graphed. To change a value, it's back to the table. Curve fits or other
computations add columns to the table. Getting a graph is always an extra
step or two.
With EasyPlot, you work directly with graphs. To change a value, pick
it up and move it. Curve fits and other computations appear as curves
on the graph. Want a closer look? Sketch a rectangle around an area of
interest and EasyPlot zooms you in, complete with updated axis labels.
It's so logical you'll wonder why other programs don't work this way.
Graphic choices
With EasyPlot, you can design all kinds of graphs, including XY plots,
polar plots, contour maps and 3D fishnet surfaces. Graphs can be overlaid
or placed side by side. No problem to have dual axes on display, or have
the axes reversed. Place any number of curves on a graph, and any number
of data points on a curve, using grids and ranges of your choice. View
fishnet surfaces and scatter plots in 3D, with animated rotation, perspective
or hidden lines removed.
Powerful analysis
EasyPlot comes with powerful analysis tools. Linear and non-linear curve
fits, cubic and surface splines, smoothing, fast Fourier transforms (and
inverse FFTs), histograms, calculus, statistics and error bar displays
are some of EasyPlot's many tools. Whatever analysis you set out to achieve,
you'll find EasyPlot amazingly fast too.
Full labelling
When you've drawn your graph, you'll want to label it. EasyPlot comes
with a Text Toolbar that makes mathematical symbol editing simple. You
can create multi-line graph and axis titles. Titles, legends, notes, lines/arrows,
nested subscripts and superscripts and tick marks can all be added freely
to enhance your graph. A full range of colours helps to make your plots
easier to read.
Professional output
Once you've analysed your data and designed your graph on screen, you
can now exploit Windows' ability to support all kinds of output options.
You can copy your graph to the clipboard for export to your word processor
or spreadsheet, or create a hard copy on any printer supported by Windows
(including PostScript and colour devices) to provide publication-quality
output. A full range of graph sizes, fonts and line weights are available,
as are options for printing landscape or portrait. You can even edit your
graphs in Print Preview mode.
Automation
All onscreen processes can be programmed to operate in batch mode for
background execution - for example, in response to data acquisition experiments
- so that your graphs can be automatically plotted and printed. You may
program many other processes too. Alternatively, these routines can be
tied to a function key so that complex results can be achieved at a single
key press.
Easy Entry
With EasyPlot you can simply grab data from the clipboard or call up
any Windows file. Your data can come from a spreadsheet, word processor,
database or data capture software. Or you can key data into a built-in
spreadsheet, or enter an equation that will generate your values.
Compact
Because EasyPlot has been packed into under one megabyte of disk space,
it will be one of your faster Windows applications, whether on a standalone
PC or laptop.
