What is Plot2?

Plot is a scientific 2D plotting program that was first developed in 1993 with SciPlot on NeXTStep and continued with "Plot" for OS X until 2007. It is designed for everyday plotting, easy to use, creates high-quality plots, and allows easy and powerful manipulations and calculations of data. The app allows working with multiple documents, where every document consists of one or more XY data sets (called buffer in Plot). It also supports many plotting styles, data manipulation methods, and has a built-in macro language for automating complex tasks.



Software Features and Description

1. Plot has many data manipulation methods integrated: smooth, spline interpolation, differentiation, integration, normalising, moving, data calculations, function generator, curve fitting, etc.

2. Plot is designed for everyday plotting, it is easy to use, it creates high quality plots, and it allows easy and powerful manipulations and calculations of data.

3. Plot supports many plotting styles like lines, symbols, grids, bars, filled areas, sticks, dots, histograms, error bars, automatic legend, text and graphic objects, etc.

4. Basically Plot allows to work with multiple documents where every document consists of one or more XY data sets (called buffer in Plot).

5. It is also possible to import data by using copy&paste or drag&drop from other programs.

6. Plot can import images from other programs with copy&paste or drag&drop.

7. Data can be imported from text or binary files, with a Perl based import filter.

8. This project started in 1993 with SciPlot on NeXTStep and continues with "Plot" for OS X till 2007.

9. A subview is completely independent with its own data buffers, graphic attributes etc.

10. Plot has also a built in macro language for automating complex tasks.

11. There is also the possibility to add subviews (plots inside plots) to your document.

  • Plot is truly the best - no comparison!

    By Agrineer (Pcmac user)

    As an academic researcher I have used this program in different incarnations (since SciPlot in NeXTStep) for the last 25+ years. It is the most powerful, fast and usable 2D plotting program I have found. I tried many others (paid, share- and freeware, GUI and command line alike) over the years but I always go back to Plot. It provides full control to all the features of the plot, including tiled graphs, powerful data manipulation, annotation, curve fitting on the fly, peak analysis, remote database access, a powerful scripting language to automate processing and many other. Written from the core to manipulate postcript/PDF, it produces lightweight graphics that can be added easily to the text editor of your choice (from LaTex to Word). Yes, it has so many features that it seems daunting at first, but the quality of the graphs is well worth the time investment. Need I say more? Yes! the developer has always been most responsive to address bugs and feature requests over the years. I cannot think of a better piece of software. Look no further, you will fall in love as I have over all these years!
  • Ok, 1 star is unfair since it's just an update issue

    By sludtke42 (Pcmac user)

    I really do like and use this, but the App Store update problem is a real issue :^(
  • Missing Something

    By Netsua1 (Pcmac user)

    I was able to create a legend, label and personalize my axis, and scale the perameters, but I see no actual way to plot anything. Theres a screen with what looks like a spreadsheet but no way to enter antything, nothing is clear about how you would go about it, there aren’t even any videos that I could find for this software that aren’t just videos of people using similarly titled programs that actually work and make me wish I had a PC again. I tried for like half an hour literally going through every key command and tab. I’m not a grandpa, I’m excel certified and I have literally the most simple task possible when it comes to graphing. The interface is trash, theres no view tab which likely would solve many of this programs problems, and it honestly feels like less of a waste of time to write about this application than it does to actually use it.
  • The downfall of a great program

    By pjungp@ohio (Pcmac user)

    This program “plot” used to be one of the best 2D graphics programs out there coming from the next-step era. It gave the user excellent control over the details of the plot and the fitting capability was quite good. plot stopped working and this app was born. It could do almost nothing when it was first released - but - O.K. - it could be slowly improved. But it nerver was. After many updates this app finally reached the state of ultimate dysfunctionality. Forget data fitting - that never worked with plot 2.0 - I’d be happy if it could actually open the data files I once plotted with “plot”. My recommendation to whoever develops this software is to remove it asap from the App Store, make it work and then make it available again. There are good commercial alternatives such as “Kaleidagraph” and free alternatives such as “gnuplot”, infinitely more capable than plot 2.0.
