I am a student and am looking for a package that will help me
out in graphing large sets of data. I would like to be able to plot
functions of two variables and be able to specify a function to transform
points from a source column to a destination column. I would also like
the package to perform curve fits. Postscript output would be nice as
well. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
-John

What about MathCAD? Harvard graphics also might be able to do what you are looking for, and would probably have postscript output. Never used Harvard before though. In s.w./p.d. type stuff, try packages from Simtel20 or a mirrored archive under msdos/graph directory. (Need any info on Simtel20 , contact me at address above) Mike ******************************************************************************* * Mike Castle * Life is like a clock: You can work constantly and be* * Nexus * right all the time, or not work at all and be right * *S087891@UMRVMA.UMR.EDU* at least twice a day.********************************* * mcastle@cs.umr.edu ************************ Love does not exist anymore. * ******************************************************************************* * We are all of us living in the shadow of Manhattan. - Watchmen * *******************************************************************************

I think that Sigma Plot 4.0 may be just the ticket. I is not fast, but is especially simple to use, a good thing because the manual is not too great. george Rieck gcr@hpfigcr .

Hello, I think you should look at Sigma Plot 4.0. It is a very good publication quality technical graphics plotting package. The folks out there will also talk to you about it and fill you in. I can get you the phone and address if you like. Simply e-mail me a request. (I don't get to notes often enough to get a reply here.) George Rieck gcr@hpficgr.hp.com

I didn't see the start of this, so I don't know what sort of quality you're looking for, but if you want to try a cheap and cheerful solution you might look at a shareware statistics package I wrote called Easistat. It comes with a graphing program which reads ASCII data files and produces Microsoft Paint format output. The quality isn't brilliant, but we published a graph in the Lancet and it looked OK. It does histograms and multiple X-Y plots (plus a pretty pathetic attempt at a Z axis), but not pie charts. It's available at uk.ac.lancs.pdsoft (user=pdsoft, password=pdsoft, /micros/ibmpc/index for a contents list), or mail me if you have trouble getting hold of it. Hope this plug is acceptable.
