[comp.sys.mac] Help with graphs

paryavi@harris.cis.ksu.edu (Saiid Paryavi) (07/06/89)

I am looking for a graphics/statistics package that lets me set the axis value
increments and starting and ending values manualy.  Will CricketGraph or
StatWorks do this?  If not, is there another package that will?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Please reply via e-mail directly to me as I don't read this newsgroup regularly.

I've found that the most flexible package available is SYSDAT, made by
a company of the same name in Evanston, IL.  It resembles a mainframe
type stat package more than a Mac program (you enter everything on
a command line...you do very little with the mouse), and with that
you get greater power than is typical with Mac applications.  It
allows you to specify a large number of parameters, and definitely
the ones that you list there.

My experience with StatView, CricketGraph and Data Desk is that they lack
the kind of flexibility you are describing.

The only truly flexible and fast scientific plotting program for Mac at this 
time is KaleidaGraph from Synergy Software (makers of VersaTermPro).
You could also look at IGOR. Its almost as flexible as KG but will frustrate
you with extremely unconventional interface.
