Description
Graph: "You give it data and it gives you a graph." Other things are straightforward, unobtrusive and automatic. People using Graph have this to say about it:
"The fact that the Graph app for the Mac is free is nothing short of remarkable because charts and graphs are instant. Drop in some numbers and the graph practically builds itself."
"A great program. Don't let the first screen shot fool you, the output available is actually very impressive."
"More features are available in the not-so-free Graph versions, Graph IDE, which extends graphs far beyond Graph, and, frankly, far beyond Excel graphs."
Graph should give you a similar experience. Graph for iPhone, iPad and Mac has been downloaded over one million times and it is best to ensure that the Graph user interface is working for each and every one of those downloads. So, on the off chance that you encounter difficulty then please email support@vvi.com to get in touch with an expert.
FEATURES
• Includes several 1D, 2D and 3D graph types such as bar, column, pie, line, area, scatter, 3D perspective scatter, trajectory and surface, volumetric, z-sliced cell, maps, linear, semi-log, x-log, log-log, polar, r-log, Gregorian date and many variations.
• Data is pasted from the pasteboard, fetched from web servers or the file system and inserted and edited using a table interface.
• Click-drag graphs to rotate and scan data.
• Click and hover over data to edit and show their values.
• Includes an integrated manual.
• Explore data sets directly from the graph or in numeric format from the table.
• Projects are navigated using a simple tool sheet.
• Thousands of graphic, graph and data attributes, including artwork, maps, autoscaling and many effects can be set by applying a skin made with Graph IDE (a separate application).
• Data and preferences are organized by project and each project is persistent and automatically saved so you can show and retrieve your settings and data on subsequent use.
What’s New
Version 12.15.8
This version speeds up launching, fixes bugs and removes API associated with security concerns and replaces those calls with compile-time deterministic implementations.
Ratings and Reviews
Questionable functionality
This app has some nice and helpful features.
However its strongly let down through the user interface which is reasonably unattractive but more importantly unintuitive. And also plagued with bugs
Not intuitive
When I got it to work, it produced the graph I needed. It looks very comprehensive, but needs a complete UI rewrite.
It does not conform to normal MacOS input methods, and data input is not intuitive.
The data entry screen looks like a preference pane with buttons across the top. The first button is labelled Tasks, but it really allows you to define the type of graph display (bar chart, line graph, scatter diagram, 3D graph, map, etc).
The data entry screen shows a table layout with fixed row numbers and 4 columns, the last 3 labelled Scalars 1, Scalars 2, Scalars 3. As a table, you expect to be able to put a number in a cell, press Tab to move to the next cell horizontally, and Return to move down a row. You expect to be able to navigate between the cells with the arrow keys. But none of this works.
You must finish data entry in a cell by pressing Return. That will fix the data you have entered, but not move to a different cell. You now have to use the mouse (not the arrow keys) to get to another cell.
Finally, the trick to getting value pairs to be graphed is to put 2 values (x and y) into each cell seperated by a space. Put these value pairs down the column labelled Scalar 1 and you will see your first graph.
Don’t try reading the extensive help pages - they do not describe any of this.
