Technical/Scientific Features
Technical users will appreciate the power and flexibility of DeltaGraph. Curve fitting, error bars, logarithmic scaling, and mathematical functions are used to present scientific and technical data in the most meaningful and applicable ways.
Ñ Seven standard curve fits: linear, polynomial, logarithmic, exponential, spline, power, and user-defined curve fits
Ñ Log-log and Semi-log axis charts. Both the X and Y axes can be scaled logarithmically
Ñ Center data on ticks
Ñ Error bars set by: percentages, standard error, standard sample deviation, fixed values, or user-defined variables. These can be displayed above or below the data point, or both.
Ñ Log axis scaling
Ñ User-defined axis length
Ñ Super-/subscripts in text blocks, labels, and legends
Ñ X-Y Scatters with Droplines
Ñ Clip data option. Allows user to scale axes as desired and omit outlying data points.
Ñ Normalized curve fit. Optionally squeeze the curve fit so that it does not extend beyond the data in the domain direction.
Ñ User-defined curve fitting
Ñ Correlation for curve fits. Show regression coefficient for overall curve fit and regression coefficients for each power of x in the formula window.
Ñ Smart redraw. Faster redrawing of larger charts.
Ñ Faster recalculation
Ñ Connect points on polar chart
Ñ Negative values on polar chart
Ñ Super-/subscripts in text blocks
Slide Show
