Software to make line graph, Like Excel?

Is there any software that will convert a series of numbers into a simple line graph, the same as Excel, but allowing me to use a lot more numbers?

I'm writing a program in c to convert a sinewave, or any wave, into a triangular wave.
I've sort of done it, but there is noise in my triangular wave output if the input is of varying frequency, and I don't know for certain why. It is very hard to tell by looking at a page of numbers, so I want to look at a graphical representation of my triangular wave and see what's going wrong. The data, the points on the graph, is too much for excel.

Thanks
Tony

Matlab of course. Not free, though.
 
Gnuplot does the trick.
Matlab - £3,000. The opposite of free!

Many thanks

R is open source software and a library called ggplot2 allows you to make publication quality graphs. A bunch of examples are available at http://www.r-chart.com/" .

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
