GRAPHING FEATURES
 
 

Create Graphs Easily with SigmaPlot!

  • SigmaPlot´s Graph Style Gallery: Save any graph with all graph properties and add a bitmap image to the gallery to create complex graphs.
  • Graph Toolbar: select toolbar icon of the graph type and style you want to create or to add additional curves to an existing graph.
  • Graph Wizard: easy to use, step-by-step wizard for helping you select a graph type for your data.
  • Default Graph Settings: set preferences for graph options to create favorite graphs quickly.
  • Templates: create custom graph page templates and store them for easy accessibility and future use.
  • "Intersections" are now supported for area fills.
  • Improved Graph Wizard: retains your last settings. Click 'Finish Early' and Gallery Graphs are all listed.
