Graphing Features
Choose from a wide range of graph types to best present your results
SigmaPlot provides more than 100 different 2-D and 3-D graph types. From simple 2-D scatter plots to compelling contour plots, SigmaPlot gives you the exact technical graph type you need for your demanding research. With so many options, you can always find the best visual representation of your data.
Statistical Analysis
Statistical Analysis is no longer a daunting task
SigmaPlot now offers almost 50 of the most frequently used statistical tests in scientific research by integrating SigmaStat into one application. Suggestion of the most appropriate statistical tests is offered. Raw and indexed data formats are accepted to avoid data reformatting. Violation of data assumptions is checked in the background. Reports with descriptive interpretations are generated and graphs specific to each test may be created.

Global Curve Fitting
SigmaPlot now employs an all new user interface allowing users to easily setup a global curve fit. SigmaPlot also gives users the ability to easily share one or more equation parameters across multiple data sets
SigmaPlot now has Complete Advisory Statistical Analysis Features
SigmaPlot is now a complete graphing AND an advisory statistics suite. All of the advanced statistical analysis found in the package known as SigmaStat have now been incorporated into SigmaPlot along with several new statistical features. SigmaPlot guides users through every step of the analysis and performs powerful statistical analysis without the user being a statistical expert
Standard Curves Macro
In addition to the EC50 value already computed, the user can also compute other user-entered EC values such as EC40 and EC60 and compute them instantly. Two five-parameter logistic functions have also been added and the Dynamic Curve Fitting feature included to help solve difficult curve fitting problems
Improved 3D Graph Customization
In earlier versions of SigmaPlot, almost all objects in a 2D graph were selectable with just a mouse click. However, almost all objects in a 3D graph were not. SigmaPlot now adds mouse selectability of all 3D graph objects with the ability to customize all 3D objects
Share high-quality graphs and data on the Web
Export your graphs as high-resolution, dynamic Web pages - not simple GIF or JPEG files. Viewers can explore data used to create graphs and zoom, pan or print images at full resolution directly from a Web Browser. Automatically generate active Web objects from your graphs or embed the objects within other Web pages.
•Share the data behind your graphs with colleagues and students
•Enable colleagues to print your full report from your intranet or Web site directly from their browsers - without compromising the quality of the graphs
•Create an optional password while exporting your graph to limit data access to authorized users
•Produce Web documents without knowing HTML or embed SigmaPlot Web object graphs within HTML files to create interactive electronic reports
Automatic Updating of Quick Transforms
Each worksheet can hold a list of user defined transforms that will automatically be re-run whenever the transform input data has changed
Pre-Formatted Worksheets
Lets say you would like to start by selecting a particular kind of graph but you don´t know how to set up the worksheet to achieve it. SigmaPlot lets the user select a graph first and then gives the user a pre-formatted worksheet to structure their data. The data entered into the worksheet is immediately displayed on the graph. This feature can demonstrate to the user the strong relationship between the data format and the graph type
Publish Your Charts and Graphs Anywhere
Create stunning slides, display your graphs in reports or further customize your graphs in drawing packages. Save graphs for publication in a technical journal, article or paper with SigmaPlot's wide range of graphic export options. Presenting and publishing your results has never been easier - or looked this good. Create customized reports with SigmaPlot's Report Editor or embed your graphs in any OLE container - word processors, Microsoft PowerPoint or graphics program. Just double click your graph to edit directly inside your document. Quickly send your high-resolution graphs online to share with others.
