Anyone know of a simple to use graphing program?


* * * * Well ... you ask for "inexpensive" in the "Subject: " header
and "simple to use" in the body.

* * * * Pick one!

* * * * A very good, and very powerful graphing program is called
"Gnuplot", and it is even compiled for Windows, as well as for my
favorite unix.

* * * * It is *free* for the download.

* * * * But it will take some work to learn to use. *It can either plot
from tables of data, or can plot very complex functions from formulas,
but it will take some learning.

* * * * Here is the main URL:

* * * * * * * * http://www.gnuplot.info/

* * * * And here is a download for Windows:

* * * * * * * * http://www.sci.muni.cz/~mikulik/gnuplot/

* * * * You can either do your calculations in GNUplot, or do them in
the spreadsheet, and generate the tables to plot from.

* * * * Enjoy,
* * * * * * * * DoN.
