[comp.os.msdos.apps] Data Plotting Programs: info needed

stdtm@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu (Timothy A. Melton) (07/20/90)

I am looking for information on various programs available on the PC that
will allow a user to create professional quality plots from
experimental/calculated data points.  Any additional plot types (bar, pie,
etc..) would also be nice.  It should also be able to fit various types of
curves through the data, including cubic splines.

E-mail or post responses as you see fit.  Thanks in advance,

Tim

One does not always come to think of it, but most spreadsheet
programs, such as VP-planner, can perform many of there tasks.

Gnuplot looks like a good possibility......

By the way does anyone have the files required to make it go under Turbo C.
I have all of the unix source, but there are a couple of files needed
for ms-dos operation.

Something like "egavga.c, herc.c, ...". These weren't included int
the distribution that came across comp.sources.misc (or was it unix?).

It does all kinds of plotting, and can drive alot of screens and printers.
