Grapher 3 New Features

New! Six New Graph Types

Six new exciting graph types have been added to Grapher 3: Step plots, Box-Whisker plots, Bubble plots, Rose diagrams, Ternary diagrams, and Floating Bar charts.

Step plots connect data points with vertical and horizontal lines. These plots are most useful when you want to visualize the differences between data points rather than the trend of data.

Box-whisker plots show a category’s minimum, maximum, and mean with lines (whiskers) and the upper and lower quadrants with a box. This type of plot is used to display statistical data.

Add an extra dimension to scatter plots by representing a third variable on your graph. In a Bubble plot, the third variable defines the size of the bubble.

Rose diagrams provide a visual impression of the distribution of data similar to histograms. Rose diagrams use polar coordinates to show the frequency of data in a particular bin.

Ternary diagrams display the relative percent of three variables in proportion to each other on three different axes. Ternary diagrams are commonly used in geological analysis to represent various elements in a rock type.

Instantly create Floating Bar charts that show the differences between two Y variable values. The bars give a graphical representation of the minimum and maximum. The bars show the difference between the two values.

Simplify editing object properties by having the Object Manager always available. Change the line and fill properties or the location of any object with the click of a single button.

Set the window layout to be Graph w/ Object Manager. Select objects in the Object Manager and easily edit the object properties.

Create a clean professional looking graph by moving overlapping point labels. With this new feature, graphs are easier than ever to read and understand with all point labels visible.

Grapher 3 is fully OLE compatible. Objects from other programs can be linked and embedded into Grapher or Grapher objects can be linked and embedded into other programs. This provides additional flexibility for creating reports and keeping your information organized.

Choose to fill your plot up or down or to a specific Y axis value. Customizing your graph for presentations has never been this easy.

This graph shows a line plot with the fill direction up to the Y axis value of 30.

With the click of a single button, add a new plot to an existing plot. A common request was to be able to add curves to an existing graph easily.

Click the "New" button beside the current plot name to add an additional curve in a single step.

For additional control of your data being plotted, Grapher now has the ability to recognize null values! You may easily specify any number or group of numbers as null values. Grapher ignores data that has the null data criteria you set.

Show your tick marks with superscripted exponential labels.

Superscript the exponential tick mark labels for more professional looking axes.

Grapher 3's new powerful scripting language supports complete control of all objects within your graph. Grapher 3 includes Scripter, a Visual Basic compatible program that makes writing and debugging scripts simple and easy. Tap into Grapher's powerful graphing capabilities from other applications by creating your script in any Active X Automation controller, such as Visual Basic.

Decide how you want to plot out of range data. Choose to clip the plot at the clipping limits or to ignore data outside the clipping limits.

The plots above show the same data clipped at the clipping limits (left graph) and ignoring the data above the clipping limits (right graph).
