Line & Scatter Plots |
Display data as a line or symbols.
Combine line and symbols or use only the line or only symbols.
Display the data as a traditional two dimensional line/scatter graph. |
|
Ribbom/Wall Plots |
Similar to line plots, but are shown with a three dimensional aspect. |
|
Three Dimensional Line/Scatter Plots |
Used to display the location of points with three variables.
Display the data as lines, symbols or as lines and symbols. Add wall projections, drop lines, or labels to emphasize data on your graph. |
|
Step Plots |
Display data as vertical and horizontal lines. Display your step plot as either two or three dimensional. |
|
Bubble Plots |
Display data with varying sized symbols.
In Grapher 7, you can use a 2D bubble plot that displays three variables or a 3D bubble plot that shows the change in four variables. |
|
Bar Charts |
Display data as adjacent or stacked bars.
Choose vertical or horizontal bars which can be displayed in two or three dimension.
Use multiple colors, gradient fill colors, or a combination for bar charts. |
|
Floating Bar Charts |
Display the difference between two variables.
Choose to have vertical or horizontal bars displayed as two or three dimension floating bar charts. |
|
Function Plots |
Display mathematical functions.
Plot Y as a function of X, or plot a parametric equation where X and Y are a function of a third variable, T in two or three dimension. |
|
Hi-Low-Close Graphs |
Display a range of Y values at each X value.
Plots are commonly used to display the high, low, opening and closing of stock values.
Hi-low-close graphs can be displayed with the standard line or with bars, the 'candlestick' graph. |
|
Polar Graphs |
Display degree, radian or grad data versus a radial distance.
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. |
|
Polar Function Graphs |
Display mathematical functions.
Plot radius as a function of angle, or plot a parametric equation where both the radius and the angle are a function of a third variable, T. The angle axis can be in degrees, radians or grads data. |
|
Polar Bar Charts |
Allow direct comparison of two variables in polar coordinates.
Polar bar charts allow you to determine which variable to compare against the angular axis. Display in degree, radian, or grad data. |
|
Rose Diagrams |
Display degree, radian or grad data versus a radial axis.
Rose Diagrams display statistical data, showing the number of occurrences of an event that fall within a specific angular region. Bins are fully customizable in rose diagrams. |
|
Wind Charts |
Graph frequency vs. wind direction. Fully customizable bins are created according to the wind speed.
Frequency can be viewed as counts, relative frequency, or as percentages of relative frequency. |
|
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 pie charts in two or three dimension. |
|
Ternary Diagrams |
Show the relative proportions of three variables on three axes.
Choose to show the relative proportions as percentages or as fractions.
Add lines to connect the points on the ternary diagram.
Display any column for the labels or show relative proportions for labels. |
|
Histograms |
Display data separated into groups or bins.
Add labels, a Gaussian fit, and display the Y axis as relative frequency to change the display of this graph in two or three dimension. |
|
Box-Whisker |
Plots are commonly used to show the min, max, median, and lower and upper quartiles for a particular group.
Caps at the end of each box indicate the extreme values (min and max). |
|
Vector Plots |
Used to show the starting and ending point of a variable, such as wind or current.
Grapher allows you to set the starting XY position, the ending position can be specified with angle and magnitude or ending XY position. |
|
Contour Plots |
A two dimensional representation of three dimensional data.
May either be situation on the XY plane or the XZ plane.
Maps can be generated from data files or Surfer® grid files.
Choose from either a default color fill or set your own color fills. |
|
Surface Maps |
Use shading and color to emphasize your data features.
Can be combined with any other three dimensional map type, to create the exact graph you desire. |
Curve fitting routines help depict trends in your data. There are 11 pre-defined curve-fitting algorithms in Grapher:
|
Linear |
Orthogonal Polynomial Regression |
|
Logarithmic |
Linear Through Origin |
|
Exponential |
Running Average |
|
Power |
Weighted Average |
|
Spline Smoothing |
Gaussian (available only for histograms) |
|
Polynomial Regression |
|
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 which are copied to the clipboard or displayed in a report window.
Export fit curve data to a worksheet to calculate additional statistics. Change the range of data used to create the fit curve and the range of values to display the fit curves individually.
Add confidence intervals to your fit curves to show the degree of confidence that is in the fit. Fill between confidence upper and lower bounds to highlight the certainty.
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.
Grapher has four axis scales: linear, logarithmic (base 10), natural 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, change axis
limits, enter an axis title, add grid lines, break the axis, or hide the axis on your graph.
You control the major and minor tick frequency and spacing or you can use Grapher's default settings. If the data uses date and time as one of the data columns, axis labels are automatically
generated using dates and times. Manual date/time labels can be created or labels can be read from a worksheet, allowing you to use any type of tick labeling.
Error bars are displayed on Line and Symbol Graphs and on Bar Charts. 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.
Labels can be added to most graph types. All properties of the labels can be changed easily, including numeric format, adding bold or italics, changing the font size or style, or changing the label color. Labels can be moved so that neighboring labels do not overlap.
Most graph types also support curve filling. Fill can be defined between two curves or by using a single curve. With a single curve, fill above, below, to the left, or to the right of the curve.
Choose to fill to the axis minimum or maximum or to a customized data value.

The Graph Wizard is an easy to use step by step command that creates a graph for you using default parameters. Select the type of graph, the worksheet and the columns to use and the wizard does the rest. Add curves to existing graphs or create new graphs with the wizard. After the graph is created, it can be edited by double clicking on any portion of the graph.
