Data
| Read ASCII, binary and spreadsheet files |
| Direct "file to graph" plotting - no
need to import data into a proprietary spreadsheet before plotting |
| Clipboard plotting - paste data directly into
the graph window; EasyPlot converts the text to curves |
| Built-in table for data entry and viewing |
| Manage up to 1,024 columns of data |
| Plot millions of data points in seconds, not
minutes |
| Include comments anywhere in data files |
| Plot XY, polar and surface functions |
| Decimate/average data upon input |
Tools for faster
work
| Popup tooltips, menu shortcuts, context-sensitive
right-mouse button menus and other Windows 95/98 features |
| Preferences dialog organizes all program options in one
convenient spot ** |
| Tiling tool with "Gap" setting for exact spacing
of multiple graphs on a page ** |
| Fast "Working" mode maximizes view and access to
data |
| Edit graphs in preview mode and fine-tune graphs for
output |
Handling graphs
| Work directly with graphs, not tables of numbers |
| Move or delete data points directly on graph ** |
| Click and drag entire curves to translate in X or Y
directions ** |
| Click and drag data zooming (zooms range, not page
magnification) ** |
| Data scroll bars (pans axis range for scrolling through
large data sets) ** |
| X and Y crosshair co-ordinate display with "lock to
curve" option |
| 3D rotation with real-time animation |
Analysis
| Curve fit with any 2D or 3D equation and up to 20 unknowns
|
| Multivariate curve fitting |
| Cubic spline interpolation |
| 3D surface grid interpolation |
| Transform data with any equation |
| Perform math on multiple curves |
| Fast Fourier Transform (and FFT-1) |
| 1D and 2D histograms |
| Calculus - integration and differentiation |
| Smooth data with sliding window or by range segments |
| Statistics (mean, standard deviation, variance and more) |
Automation
| Batch mode language - speed repetitive tasks with batch
templates ** |
| Native data and "save file" format is ASCII -
allows easy batching of jobs and automatic plotting |
| Programming interface - run and control EasyPlot as if it
were part your own Windows application ** |
| Customizable F-key macros |
Graph types
& options
| XY - linear, semilog and log-log, scatter, line or bar
plots |
| Polar - full circle, hemisphere or single-quadrant |
| Contour maps |
| 3D - fishnet surfaces, 3D line/scatter (rotate to any
orientation, adjustable perspective and full hidden-line removal) |
| Unlimited number of graphs per page (inset, side-by-side,
etc.) |
| Unlimited number of curves per graph |
| Unlimited number points per curve |
| Unlimited number of X- and Y-axes |
| Reverse axes |
| Position axes anywhere inside or outside graph |
| Error bars (X and/or Y, symmetric or asymmetric) |
| Ultra-fine grid lines ** |
| Axis mirroring - change one axis and all linked axes
mirror the change automatically ** |
| Private axes - create custom axes linked and color-coded
to individual curves ** |
Label
options
| Fast WYSIWYG text editing with superscripts, subscripts,
Greek and math symbols; nest superscripts to any level |
| Multiple-line graph and axis titles |
| Annotate anywhere on graphs |
| Rotate annotations ** |
| Use any font, font size and color |
| Freehand lines/arrows drawing |
| Draw lines and arrows in arbitrary thickness, dash
pattern, color and arrow head angle and size |
| Legends - rearrange entries easily, supports multiple-line
entries |
| Place text anywhere on the page, inside or outside graphs |
Printing
| Publication-quality results |
| Print to any Windows compatible device in color or black
and white |
| Export graphs to other Windows applications |
| Zoom in and print several pages of data in one step |
|
