Create precise 2-D and 3-D graphs for exact data visualization. Take control of every detail in the built charts and graphs. Share your creations on the Web.
SigmaPlot is a powerful and comprehensive scientific graphing and statistical analysis platform for Windows. It offers unparalleled capabilities for creating complex graphs and for performing in-depth data analysis and visualization tasks.
SigmaPlot makes creating and editing graphs a simple and effective job, regardless of how complex are the graphs. The intuitive interface allows organizing the workflow in a really effective manner, especially thanks to elements such as the tabbed windows or the Office-style ribbon controls. High-quality graphs can be produced in a rather short amount of time and the seamless Microsoft Office integration allows you to easily access data from Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and display your results in Microsoft PowerPoint presentations.
This impressive tool allows the creation of a large variety of graph types. More than 100 2-D and 3-D technical graph types are supported. Furthermore, every little detail of the charts and graphs can be configured to your liking, including axis breaks, colors, fonts, line thickness, etc.
This application is so powerful and feature-rich that it would take days to describe all of its functions, tools and features. It can basically plot any mathematical function and it offers support for more than 50 popular statistical tests. Considering that it’s also easy-to-use, this tool simply represents the perfect solution for anyone in need to create detailed graphs or perform thorough statistical analyses.
v12.5 [Mar 5, 2013]
1. Graph Properties Dialog
- Dynamic Update provides immediate graph redraw with a property change. No clicking on "Ok" or "Apply" required
- The combination of V11 and V12 gives you the intuitive properties panels of V11 and the immediate graph response of V12
- The Graph/Plot/Axis tabs are now gone. All Graph Properties items are now grouped into the fixed two-level tree shown below on the left. All items previously existing in those tabs can now be viewed at one time in this one tree.
- Clicking a tree node on the left displays on the right all properties associated with that node in V11 format
- Each graph on the page and the axes and plots for that graph may be selected in the Graph Properties Current group (upper right) without closing Graph Properties
- Different items on the page may be selected without closing Graph Properties. For example, you may zoom in to a portion of the graph while Graph Properties is open. Also with Graph Properties open you can select a different graph on the page to edit simply by clicking on it.
- The Graph Properties panel becomes partially transparent when you move your cursor off the panel allowing you to see through the panel the immediate change that just occurred
- The Graph Properties panel is smaller than that in Version 11 thus requiring less window real estate
2. Microsoft Office Style Ribbons
- Context sensitive feature grouping for enhanced functionality and ease of use.
- Expanded tooltips that include hot keys.
- High resolution button icons.
- Alt Key Tips provide visual display of keyboard shortcuts.
3. User Interface Improvements
- Tabbed window views enables quick window management (selection, closing, grouping)
- Docking panel guides providing simple window placement. This includes the Graph Gallery, Templates, Layouts, Object and Properties windows
- Group open windows into tabbed groups either vertically or horizontally. This groups like windows for easier comparison and better window management.
- Object-specific mini toolbars are displayed adjacent to selected graph, worksheet and report objects. This allows faster editing of object properties.
- Customizable Quick Access Toolbar for frequently used user-specific controls
- Window show/hide buttons for improved window real-estate management
4. Improved Graph Page Navigation
- Zoom, pan, +/- controls and zoom dialog & slider always available on status bar.
- Drag and position graphs with "hand" mouse cursor.
- Quick window scrolling with middle mouse wheel.
5. Graph Export Improvements
- Vector PDF format has been added
- Improved EPS
6. Worksheet Improvements
- Mini tool bar for quicker worksheet cell editing
- Zoom enabled worksheets
- Quicker worksheet window scrolling using mouse wheel
- Formatted text in worksheet cells. Text in worksheets can contain super and subscripts, Greek letters, etc. plus they can be also used in tick labels
7. Report Improvements
- Insert tables with pre-defined styles or customize them completely to your preference
- Copy/Paste tabular data bi-directionally between SigmaPlot reports and Excel worksheets
- Zoom enabled report pages
- Vertical and horizontal rulers in graph windows
- Ability to change the report background color
- Explicit icon in Graph Output ribbon for frequently used PDF export which is enhanced with a new report engine
- Drag and Drop Word 2007 and Word 2010 content directly onto the report page
8. Curve Fitting Features
- Weight variables may now be specified quite generally as functions of the parameters. Therefore these weights will change at each iteration. In special cases, this includes weighting by predicted values, weighting as a function of residuals (for robust regression) and weighting as a function of the parameters (for error modeling).
- Parameter covariance matrix and parameter confidence intervals added to nonlinear regression reports
- Implicit function curve fitting gives the ability to compute predicted values that are defined implicitly by the fit model
- The fit windows for equations, parameters, etc. are now expandable to allow entry of long equations
9. Statistics Features
- One Sample Signed Rank Test
- Deming regression allows for errors in both x and y variables a technique used in method comparison
- Normal distribution comparison with graph and statistics for preliminary quality control analysis
- Parallel line analysis to determine if linear regression slopes and intercepts are different
- Bland-Altman graph and statistics for method comparison
- Improvements in post-hoc testing for multi-factor ANOVAs including P-values for Dunnett´s test and more accurate statistics for multiple comparisons in 3-Way ANOVA
10. Analysis and Transform Language Features
- Enzyme kinetics analysis module is now included with SigmaPlot Version 12
- Worksheet row and column titles may now be set from the Transform language statements
- Root() and Implicit() functions for solving implicit equations
