New SigmaPlot version 11
19 August, 2008
SigmaPlot Version 11 now offers a full range of easy-to-use statistical functions in addition to graphing templates and utilities with improved features for accurate and fast data analysis for non-statisticians.
SigmaPlot is now used by more than 250,000 scientists, researchers and engineers across a wide spectrum of disciplines for data and statistical analysis. SigmaPlot lets users present their data using exact, publication-quality graphs and reports.
Unlike other analysis and graphing packages, spreadsheets or other business graphing products, SigmaPlot 11 offers complete advisory statistical analysis features along with a full range of graphing templates and utilities for unmatched data accuracy, speed, data analysis and presentation. SigmaPlot is well known for its flexibility to customise any object on a graph to meet the exacting requirements of the scientific community.
The readers of Scientific Computing voted SigmaPlot 11 number one for Graphics and number two for Statistical Analysis in 2008.
New Features
2D Vector Plots
2D Vector Plots are a new feature in SigmaPlot11. A 2D Vector plot is a display of a field of vectors in x,y coordinates where both direction and magnitude are represented. A popup dialog box can allow the user to specify arrow properties such as colour, line thickness, and arrowhead length and angle. This feature can be used by, but not limited to physicists, climate researchers or in other fields where spatial data can include both direction and magnitude information.
Global Curve Fitting
It allows users to easily setup a global curve fit. It gives users the ability to easily share one or more equation parameters across multiple data sets
Advisory Statistical Analysis within SigmaPlot 11
Now users have an all-inclusive statistical analysis and technical graphing product that increases the number of usable scientific and engineering applications.
Pre-Formatted Worksheets
The user can start by selecting the type a graph that they wish to create and a worksheet will be automatically created with the data format required for that graph. Data entered into the worksheet is immediately displayed on the graph. This feature demonstrates to the user the strong relationship between the data format and the graph type.
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.
Improved 3D Graph Customization
In SigmaPlot 10, almost all objects in a 2D graph were selectable with a mouse click. Almost all objects in a 3D graph were not. SigmaPlot 11 now adds mouse selectability to all 3D graph objects.
Updated User Interface
SigmaPlot 11 now enjoys an updated look and feel across the entire application. Users can also add or prune out toolbar features or functions the user decides he's going to use, thus streamlining his customised workspace.
Support for EMF Files
Enhanced Metafile Format (EMF) files are a new and improved 32-bit revision of the WMF format. EMF files have extended functionality over WMF files. SigmaPlot 11 now includes support for importing and exporting EMF files.
100% Vista Compliant
SigmaPlot 11 is fully Vista compliant and including support for SigmaPlot help files.
Import Excel 2007 Files Directly into SigmaPlot 11
SigmaPlot 11 adds compatibility for Microsoft Office 2007. Previous versions would not import Excel 2007 files without an intermediate conversion step to a prior file version.
Standard Curves Macro Improvement
In addition to the EC50 value already computed, the user can also compute other user-entered values like EC40 and EC60 values instantly. Two five-parameter logistic functions have been added and the Dynamic Curve Fitting feature included to help solve difficult curve fitting problems.
The upgrade to SigmaPlot 11 is available at no cost to customers with current SigmaPlot 10 maintenance. Eligible customers may request this upgrade here>>
