Q11. Is technical support free?
A. Yes, technical support is free to all users for as long as you own the product. You must register your product in order to receive technical support. You can reach technical support by phone, fax, or email.
Q12. Does Grapher run under Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8 using 32-bit and 64-bit versions?
A. Yes, Grapher 10 comes as a 32-bit application and as a 64-bit application. Both can be installed and run on Windows 64-bit.
Q13. Should I install the Grapher 32-bit or Grapher 64-bit?
A. If you are using a 32-bit version of Windows, then Grapher 10 32-bit is installed automatically.
If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows, then Grapher 10 64-bit is installed automatically. There is an option to install the 32-bit version instead, but we recommend installing the 64-bit version of Grapher 10. Although Grapher 32-bit is capable of installing and running on Windows 64-bit, the 32-bit version of Grapher 10 does not take advantage of the increased 64-bit memory space.
Q14. One of my manager windows has disappeared! What can I do to get it back?
A. Grapher 10 has a command that will reset manager windows to their default positions to address this issue. Choose View | Display | Reset Windows. Click OK in the dialog prompting you to restart Grapher. Save any open Grapher files and choose File | Exit. When you reopen Grapher, all of the manager windows will be back in their default positions.
Q15. Do you offer a Mac version of your software?
A. Grapher 10 is a Windows program. Golden Software does not offer any versions of our software that are compatible with any Mac operating systems. However, we have heard from several users that our programs will run on a Windows emulator. Windows emulators allow a Windows environment to run on a Mac operating system. Golden Software products may be able to be run from within the Windows emulator. However, we do not test our software under these conditions. We suggest downloading the demos and trying it for yourself. Thank you for your patience.
Q16. I have a more technical question about the program, where can I find the answer?
A. For more technical questions and answers, please visit our Knowledge Base.
We have compiled a list of some of the top new features in Grapher 10. This list is only a small sampling of the new features added to Grapher 10
Grapher’s new interface makes it easier than ever to use. The fully customizable ribbon can be minimized, new tabs can be added, or commands rearranged on existing tabs. Make your Grapher menus exactly the way you want.
Add new tabs to fully customize your experience.
Q-Q plots is a type of probability plot that compares the probability distribution of two data sets by plotting their quantiles against each other. Each point plotted represents the same quantile in both data sets. A y=x line is plotted allowing easy visual interpretation of whether the two data sets are linearly related or from the same distribution.
Compare data sets to determine if they have the same distribution.
Contour function maps display three variable equations in two or three dimensions. Contour plots can be combined with other 2D and 3D plot types to give your graphs the best appearance. Alter all aspects of the contour map, including the vertical location in 3D and the contour line/fill properties.
Display 3D vectors connecting two points in XYZ space. Color vectors all the same or with the color indicating length.
Create 3D vector plots that connect two 3D points. Vectors can be determined by two XYZ points or by an XYZ point and distances in each of the X, Y, and Z directions. Color vectors all the same or determine the vector color based on the length of the vector.
Create 3D functions using the contour function plot commands. Add color to vividly display your functions!
Notches add statistical confidence to your box-whisker plots. By displaying notches, you are providing your reader with more conclusive evidence that your data is good. Notches also provide a quick way to compare two box-whisker plots. In addition to notches, you can now determine how whiskers are drawn. Draw whiskers to 1/99 percentile, 5/95 percentile, 10/90 percentile, minimum/maximum data values, or to a factor of the innerquartile range. You have full control over your data!
Display outliers as you want by setting the whisker and outlier controls.
Apply a color scale to symbols. Make all symbols the same size or shape at once. Create incrementing symbol sizes based on class.
Take full control over all aspects of your graph, from the symbols to the legends.
Sometimes, the pie chart you are displaying is too complex for labels pointing to each pie slice. Or, maybe you have multiple pie charts on your page with the same categories and colors. A simple legend can now be created displaying the slice category information.
Add a legend to your pie chart to create exactly the graph you want.
Error bars display information about a single set of data in your entire graph. But, the trend of the error bars also helps analyze the trend of the data. Now, with the enhanced error bars in Grapher, you can connect error bars. Or, export the error bar data values to a worksheet for further review.
Connect error bars to display data trends across all data.
Not all data is normally distributed. Add Normal, LogNormal, Exponential, Power, or Inverse Gaussian fit curves to your histograms. Display fit statistics that indicate the goodness of fit of the selected distribution.
Display the fit curves and fit statistics on the graph.
Symbols now have full line and fill properties. Set the line width for the outside edge of the symbol to any size and line style or color. Set the fill pattern for the symbol to any Grapher fill pattern, including imported images. Make your symbols pop on your graph.
Set your graph up exactly like you want it. Don't inadvertently change it. Select any object in your graph and lock either the position, size, or the position and size. Locked positions will not allow the object to move. Locked size will not allow the object to be resized.
Have an object that you have spent hours getting just right? Do you now need to get that same object's properties onto other objects or graphs? If so, you are going to love the Copy Format and Paste Format commands. Select the original object and copy the format. Select any number of new objects and paste the format. Paste between Grapher tabs to copy an existing graph's formats to another graph window.
You asked and we answered. Import and export in all popular formats! New data import formats include Excel 2007/2010 XLSM file format. New export data formats include Excel 2007 XLSX file format. In addition, import and export graphs directly from PDF files and JPEG2000 files. Export in PDF format with transparency, compression, and the page size.
Have some data that isn't quite in the correct format? Wish there were an easy way to convert it? Now there is. A new worksheet feature automatically converts columns to rows and rows to columns with a single click. Now your data layout is a snap.
