Grapher is an easy to understand technical graphing package
for anyone who needs to create publication-quality graphs quickly and easily. Create
Line Graphs, Symbol Graphs, Step Plot Graphs, Bubble Plot Graphs, Bar Charts, Floating Bar
Charts, Function Plots, Hi-Low-Close Graphs, Polar Graphs, Rose Diagrams, Pie Charts,
Histograms, and Ternary Diagrams. Create your own custom graphs by following the
Graph Wizard. Add legends, curve fits, text or drawing objects. Create
templates to use the same graph settings with multiple data files. Automate the
graphing process with the included Scripter program. Export graphs for use in
presentations and publications in one of Grapher's many export formats.

Like to Learn About?
Graph Types
Display your data as thirteen different graph types in
Grapher. Different graph types can be combined on one graph and multiple graphs can
be created on one page.
Create line plots with
plotted symbols, comments, and fit curves..

Create step plots with
horizontal or vertical lines.
enlarge graphic
Create bar charts with horizontal or
vertical bars.
Specify bar width for a customized graph.
enlarge graphic
- Floating Bar Charts display the
difference between two variables. Choose to have vertical or horizontal bars.
Create floating bar charts with two
variables.
Change the orientation to display vertical or horizontal.
enlarge graphic
Specify a function or equation
to create a graph. Position the
axes anywhere on the page.
enlarge graphic
- Hi-Low-Close Graphs display a range of
Y values at each X value. These plots are commonly used to display the high, low,
opening and closing of stock values, though Hi-Low-Close graphs are also used for many
other purposes.
Track stock performance with the
High-Low-Close Graph. Overlay a
best-fit curve to predict future
performance.

- Polar Graphs display degree, radian or
grad data versus a radial distance. The degree, radian or grad data are displayed on
a circular angle axis. The second axis is a radial axis showing the distance from
the center of the circle.
Display degree, radian, or
grad data versus radial distance
on a Polar Graph.
enlarge graphic
- Rose Diagrams display degree, radian
or grad data versus a radial axis. Like histograms, Rose Diagrams display
statistical data, showing the number of occurrences of an event that fall within a
specific angular region.
Display degree, radian, or
grad data versus radial statistical data
on a Rose Diagram.
enlarge graphic
Pie
Charts show data as proportional slices of a circle. Each data value is divided by
the sum of the data to determine the size of the slice.
Display the pie together or explode a
slice.
On a Pie Chart, choose how to label each slice.
enlarge graphic
Display the Ternary Diagram with or
without labels.
Choose the order in which to display the labels.
enlarge graphic
Display
statistical information on a Histogram Graph.
Set the bin size and the number of bins.
enlarge graphic
Box-Whisker
plots are commonly used to show the min, max, median, and lower and upper quartiles for a
particular group. The caps at the end of each box indicate the extreme values (min and
max).
Display
statistical information on a Histogram Graph.
Set the bin size and the number of bins.
enlarge graphic
Curve
Fits
Curve fitting routines help depict trends in your
data. Select pre-defined fits or define a custom fit to add to the graph.
Display fits for Line and Symbol Graphs, Step Plots, Polar Graphs and Histograms.
There are 10 pre-defined curve-fitting algorithms in Grapher:
- Linear
- Logarithmic
- Exponential
- Power
- Spline Smoothing
- Polynomial Regression
- Orthogonal Polynomial Regression
- Linear through Origin
- Running Average
- Weighted Average
Associate any number of fits with a single curve. Change the
line style, color and width for each fit. Applicable statistics are available for
each fit. The resulting statistics are copied to the clipboard or displayed in a
report window.
Export fit curve data to a worksheet.
Display data using a curve fit.
Equation coefficients can also be displayed.

Template
Graphs
Create a graph with the desired colors, number formats,
tick mark spacing, legend styles, etc., and save it as a template graph for use with
multiple data sets.
Axes
Grapher has three axis types: linear, logarithmic, and
probability. Use Grapher's default settings or specify custom settings for all axis
parameters. Set the axis scale, change the axis length and starting position, add
additional or duplicate axes, add axis limits, enter an axis title, add grid lines or hide
the axis on your graph. On each axis, you control the major and minor tick
frequency and spacing or you can use Grapher's default settings. Use automatic date
and time labeling or read axis tick labels from a worksheet, allowing you to use any type
of tick labeling.
Display your graph with linear,
logarithmic or probability axes.

Error
Bars
Error Bars are displayed on Line and Symbol Graphs.
Display error bars for the average value, sample standard deviation, population standard
deviation, or standard error of the mean. Or, calculate custom error bars in the
worksheet and display them on the graph.
Text Editor
Easily add text objects to graphs using Grapher's text
editor. Easily select any typeface, font size and color. Add superscripts,
subscripts and symbols to your text. Automatically enter current dates and
times. Create complex mathematical equations and include them in your graph.
Use Grapher's text editor to create
complex mathematical equations.
