Linear Graphs

All graph types in Grapher give you full control over all graph parameters. Combine multiple graph types to present your data in a completely new way! Alter any property of any of the graph types to create compelling new graphs. You can accept the Grapher intelligent defaults to automatically create a plot, or click any aspect of the graph to easily customize those features. 

Line, Scatter, and Line/Scatter plots display data as a line, as symbols, or as a combination of line and symbols. Alter line colors, symbols colors, or fill between curves.


Line/scatter plots can have multiple axes and curves.
You can change line properties for individual curves or fill curves.

Class scatter plots allow symbols to be based on a range of data values in a worksheet column. In addition to class scatter plots, regular symbol plots can be created with different symbols based on information in a column or in a symbol table.


Class scatter plots have variable symbols with separate properties. Symbol size, shape, and color can change depending on the value in your class column in your worksheet.

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. 


Specify a function or equation to create a graph. Position the axes anywhere on the page.
Break axes to reveal interesting trends in your data.

Step Plots display linear data in a similar manner to line/scatter plots. Except, with step plots, connecting lines are only vertical and horizontal. All other parts of the plot are editable exactly like the line/scatter plot.


Legends and graph titles can add informative information to any graph!

Display line/scatter plots over any axis range, using the default full axis range or specifying only the section you want to display on the graph. And with Grapher you can add color fill between plots to produce dazzling displays of your data.
Linear Graph Features

Linear Graph Features

  • Display lines with any color, width, opacity, or style.
  • Use a worksheet column to change the color of lines within the curve.
  • Display symbols with any shape, color, or opacity.
  • Change the frequency of symbols to control how many symbols are plotted on each curve.
  • Use a symbol table to vary the symbol for every point.
  • Use a symbol column to define the symbol shape from a worksheet column.
  • Match the color of the symbol to the color of the line automatically.
  • Drag point labels to place them exactly where you want.
  • Fill under, above, to the left, to the right, or between curves.
  • Add fit curves and confidence intervals.
  • Add error bars that display statistical information about the data. Error bars can also be displayed from a worksheet column.
  • Limit the display of lines and symbols to only a desired subsection of data.
  • Use a worksheet clipping column to control the display of points.
  • Add a graph title or legend to enhance your graph.
  • Automatic or user-defined contour intervals and ranges 
  • Adjust the opacity of all objects in the graph.
