Thanks for the link. Currently I use GNUplot that comes along with Maxima. But I will give this one a try.robphy said:Here's another interactive plotter [for Windows]

The purpose of plotting graphs is to visually represent data and patterns to better understand relationships and trends within the data. This allows for easier interpretation and analysis of the data.
The key elements of a graph include the x-axis and y-axis, which represent the variables being measured, a title that describes the graph's purpose, a legend to explain any symbols or colors used, and data points or lines that represent the data being plotted.
Some tips for creating an effective graph include choosing the appropriate type of graph for the data being presented, labeling the axes clearly, using a consistent scale, avoiding clutter and unnecessary information, and ensuring the graph is visually appealing and easy to read.
Some shortcuts for creating graphs include using spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft Excel, which has built-in graphing tools, using online graphing tools, or using specialized software for creating more advanced graphs. There are also keyboard shortcuts that can be used for quickly formatting and editing graphs.
Common mistakes to avoid when plotting graphs include using the wrong type of graph for the data, misleading or incorrect labeling of axes, using a non-uniform scale, not clearly defining the purpose of the graph, and using too many colors or symbols that can make the graph difficult to interpret.
