QUAD-Plot is a plotting application for professional and technical people such as researchers, teachers and students. Conventional plotting packages are expensive, slow and can be frustrating to use in a real-time environment. QUAD-Plot is designed to make it quick and easy to view data and produce high quality printed graphs.
Here are some key features of "QUADPlot":
Memory and Speed
faster than most other packages at importing data, drawing and updating plots
~30, points can be plotted with the default memory allocation of 768k
Plotting
two plot types are currently available - line/point plots or histograms
choose columns to be plotted/histogramed on x and y menus. "Go!" (or cmd-G) produces the plot
ranges automatically adjust to include new data (if "Default Ranges" chosen)
vary the number of bins and bin-range of your histograms
add error bars in either x or y - several sources are possible
Files
imports ANY tabular ascii file, from Mac, PC or Unix workstation
comments can be included in the files if they are preceded by the % character
save plots in QUAD-Plots own format or export as a high resolution PICT
individual datasets can be exported as text files
Editing
select a dataset by clicking near it.
cut or copy a dataset from a window. Paste it into another like text in a word processor
copy plots to the clipboard at screen resolution
Axes
intelligent defaults for axes ranges - but these are easily changed
tick marks are placed at sensible intervals by default
justify x and y axes to maintain equal world coordinate interval per inch
display or hide coordinate axes from the menu
Labels
sensible default strings which are easily changed
change font, style, size and color easily
automatically scale labels with the size of the plot window for easy viewing of many plots on a screen
Symbols and Lines
many symbols and line styles to choose from
size, color and type of symbol are easily changed
thickness, color and style of line are easily changed
sub-pixel thicknesses can be chosen for output to high resolution printers
Printing
print the front most window with cmd-P
or, choose "View Page..." to position plots on a view of the page
position and size plots as you like on this view of the page
automatically grid plots for speed and ease of production
display inch/cm guidelines to help position and size the plots.
Limitations:
Registration screen at startup.
What's New:
General improvements to the stability of the code.
Fixed a crash situation on Export Plot as Pict.
