Features

Labplot is project oriented, that is not only aimed at producing plots, but instead its goal is to produce complete notebooks, encompassing large amount of data and letting users manipulate and analyze it through a very large set of tools :

• Visualization tools;
• statistics;
• Data analysis (e.g. regressions, Hilbert transform, etc);
• Interface to mathematical and programming languages (e.g. Maxima, R, Octave, scilab, Python, Lua, etc);
• Data extraction from plots.
