Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the search for free, downloadable graphing software capable of plotting polar coordinates, particularly in the context of working with black holes and irreducible functions. Participants explore various software options and their capabilities.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about graphing tools that can handle polar coordinates without requiring a specific function form like r(t).
  • Another participant suggests Gnuplot as a potential solution for graphing needs.
  • A different participant recommends gri, noting it produces better-looking plots but requires numerical data for plotting.
  • Another option mentioned is "Microcal Origin Version 7.0," which is a window-based software.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants present multiple software options, but there is no consensus on a single preferred tool or method for graphing polar coordinates.

Contextual Notes

Some suggestions depend on the availability of numerical data, while others may require specific software capabilities that are not universally agreed upon.

Hi,

I'm currently doing some work with black holes and I need a powerful graphing tool.

Are there any free, downloadable graphing programs that can graph polar coordinates without having to make r(t) = ...?

I have some irreducable functions I need to view.

Thanks!

gri makes better looking plots. But you'll need numerical data of what you're plotting though.
 
Use "Microcal Origin Version 7.0", a window based software.
