A flexible graph drawing program meant for serious educational or business uses. There are many options including line graphs, bar charts, histograms, pie charts besides fairly comprehensive function plotting routines. The program can accept and store up to four sets of data of which one can be time-related and plotted accordingly.

The data can be entered from the keyboard, from a previously stored file or even generated by the function you specify. This gives you a great range of options which are very valuable. Each set of data can have up to 52 values. The ability to label each set of data is useful. There is also an Epson screen dump, on the disc version at least, which produces very pleasant results. There are some problems however. One causes the data to be badly formatted, overlapping in places, and the other prevented me from plotting a line graph at all - giving an error message every time. I haven't yet had time to send in the user registration and give them my problems. Disc version £16.45.
