[bionet.software] plotting pkg

prasher@HYATT.WHOI.EDU (Doug Prasher) (02/22/91)

Fellow Netters:

I'm looking for a general purpose plotting package that can do
contouring, 3-d surfaces, line plots, histograms, etc. - with
reasonable ease and cost.  Preferably with mouse/window "point and
click" capability.  The new UNIGRAPH package from UNIRAS actually has
the these features but the price is steep, $1500.  Does anyone know
if there's any other packages like this that don't cost an arm and a
leg?

So long, farewell.

Must it run on a Unix box?

SigmaPlot on a PC will do most everything that you seem to be looking for,
and the cost is about $400-500.

Perhaps they are porting it to the unix environment?

  There are two programs that we use here.  One is SASGRAPH part
  of the SAS package.  The other is SIGMAPLOT from Jandell (about
  $400).  Hope this helps.
