Seeing this talk about Sigmaplot reminded me that while it is a very good scientific graphics package, it will not do one of the things we are trying to do: Create 3 axis graphs. Does anyone know of a package (add on to Quattro,Lotus,Excel) that will create 3D Graphs (not graphs with a "3D-effect"), but true 3-axis graphs. Sean -- || Sean N.

You might try PD1:<MSDOS.PLOT>LASER34A.ZIP through PD1:<MSDOS.PLOT>LASER34E.ZIP This is a stand-alone plotting software package that does 2-d, 3-d, and scatter plots. It doesn't generate the points that it plots (thats your job) but it does accept simple ASCII text files which you can generate with Lotus, Quattro, Excel, etc. It generates output for herc, CGA, EGA, VGA, epson 9-pin, epson 24-pin, ibm proprinter, and laserjet 2. If you're not in a hurry you might want to wait a week or two since the author is planning on releasing version 3.5 soon. New features include support of PCX file format (so you can modify the plots with your favorite paint program) and support for laserjet 3 RLE data compression format. DISCLAIMER: The author is a friend and co-worker of mine. I cannot possibly be impartial. I've also written software to support it and therefore have a vested interest in its promotion. -- Scott Bostater Georgia Tech Research Institute - Radar Systems Analysis "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him" -Ps 62.1 uucp: ...!{allegra,amd,hplabs,ut-ngp}!gatech!prism!bb16 Internet: bb16@prism.gatech.edu

Axum does 3D surface and contour plots; I don't know about 3D Cartesian plots (i.e., space curves). It also does bar charts, 2D function plots scatter plots, etc. I haven't used Axum, this is all from their literature. If you call the makers of Axum (TriMetrix, 444 NE Ravenna Blvd., Ste. 210-PA, Seattle, WA 98115, 800-548-5653, ext 544), they will send you a free brochure. By the way, Axum was written by Lee Edlefsen, one of the two authors of the original version of GAUSS. It uses the same Scientific Endeavors GraphiC routines as GAUSS graphics.
