I'm looking for a Apple II/IIgs program that plots graphs of sets of data, allows multiple sets of data per graph (that is, more than one line per graph), allows linear and logarithmic scales, and can print the graphs on an Imagewriter in good quality and in a variety of sizes (up to a full page). It would be nice if it were also inexpensive, but I'll take all suggestions. Please post your replies, if possible; I'm sure that there must be others who would be interested in such a tool. Thanks for your help. Lester McCann mccann@plains.nodak.edu

It has very nice plotter fonts too. It requires an enhanced Apple IIe, or a GS (I think there was a patch to make it work with the built in serial port). SuperCalc 3A is a spreadsheet, by the way, and is from Computer Associates, formerly Sorcim. Rick Fincher rnf@catt.ncsu.edu

Beagle Bros. TimeOut Graph does several of those things, although I don't
believe it works with APPleWorks 3.0 or gs. There are several different
graph styles and at least two sizes and you are allowed multiple lines per
graph. As far as the exponentiation is concerned, I think you might be out of
luck - as a function of what the spreadsheet can calculate - but you should rent
it and give it a try. If you like it, buy it.

I used to use Interactive Microware's Scientific Plotter and theire other program, Curve Fitter. It can output to an Imagewriter, and can use an HP plotter for an extra cost. It only plots one set of data per graph. I wanted multiples, so I would save each graph (it uses HGR1 or 2, I don't remember which) as a BIN file. I have a machine language rountine that OR's two screens, so with multiple graphs with the same axes, I can just sum the images. I can put as many graphs together as I want. It gets awkward since they usually have the same symbols for data points. The Curve fitter program let me use polynomial and other fits to the data, which can also be superimposed with the original data points. The programs were not expensive, something like $25 to $75. They are written in Applesoft BASIC, so they can be modified also. I did some mods that let me run in an automatic mode, where the data would get read in, curve fitted, plotted, and saved to disk, and then go one to the next dataset. -- David Robins, M.D. (ophthalmologist / electronics engineer) The Smith-Kettlewell Institute of Visual Science, *** net: uunet!skivs!dr 2232 Webster St, San Francisco CA 94115 *** 707/427-4456 (voice) The opinions expressed herein do not reflect the opinion of the Institute!
