Graphing/plotting software in Linux

[untarnished]

Hi, I was just wondering if there exists an alternative to the graphing program xmgrace, i.e. a WYSIWYG graphing software that runs under Linux and can do everything that Grace 5.1.22 can do (or almost everything; preferably more), and preferably free/open-source? I think xmgrace is good, but it can be improved.

Thanks!

Veusz?
SciDaVis?

Thanks for the suggestions. Veusz looks impressive, I'll surely give that a try.

I also use gnuplot sometimes when xmgrace does not suffice (which is rare). gnuplot is easier to use in batch processes and real time plot updating is also very easy.

I am familiar with the importance of using reliable and efficient graphing software in data analysis. Fortunately, there are many options available for graphing and plotting in Linux. While xmgrace is a popular choice, there are alternative programs that offer similar features and even more capabilities.

One such option is Gnuplot, a free and open-source software that can be used for plotting and graphing in Linux. It offers a user-friendly interface and a wide range of features, including 2D and 3D plots, customizable labels and axes, and the ability to export plots in various formats. Another option is QtiPlot, which also offers a WYSIWYG interface and advanced graphing capabilities, such as curve fitting and statistical analysis.

It is important to note that both Gnuplot and QtiPlot are continuously updated and improved by their communities, making them reliable and up-to-date options for graphing in Linux. Additionally, there are several other free and open-source graphing software available for Linux, such as Octave, R, and SciDAVis.

In conclusion, while xmgrace is a good option, there are many alternatives available for graphing and plotting in Linux that offer similar or even more advanced features. It is always recommended to explore and try out different software to find the one that best fits your needs and preferences.
