Subject: scientific graphic software From: Pawel Kusmierek <p.kusmierek@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 22:39:23 -0400This is not going to be an exactly auditory question, but I hope that the auditory scientific community will be able to help me. I am lookng for suggestions on a decent scientific graphic package. I have an experience with SigmaPlot, and I like it pretty much, but I would like to know other options. Specifically I would love to have two features which are not available in SigmaPlot. One is a possibility to create map or surface plots from non-rectangular or incomplete data tables. SigmaPlot kind of allows for that, but it uses a not very reliable (IMHO) interpolation for the missing points to force the rectangular shape. The second thing is a possibility to run the program on Mac in addition to Windows. This is however not so much important. The only program which appeared to fulfill my needs was DeltaGraph. I tried it, and non-rectangular map graphs were available, there is also a Mac version, apparently. The problem is that the demo crashed several times during my 30-minute test drive. I would prefer something more reliable. One more thing - I really prefer the program to be easily graphical-interface driven, and fully WYSIWYG. No complicated scripts, please. I would appreciate your suggestions, Pawel -- Pawel Kusmierek PhD Department of Physiology and Biophysics Georgetown University Medical Center The Research Building WP23 3970 Reservoir Road NW Washington, DC 20007 phone: +1 202 687-8851
