Key Features of PlotIT for Windows to Satisfy Your Needs
1. MOST INTEGRATED CAPABILITIES of any product in its class. PlotIT 3.2 for
Windows offers fully integrated 2D, 3D (surfaces and contours), Quality Control graphs, statistical and
report-generating data analyses in one program, beyond any other scientific graphics and data analysis
package priced under $500.
2. FAST AND ROBUST DATA ACCESS for graphing and performing data analyses. PlotIT
3.2 for Windows supports more of the primary data formats than its competitors, and can load large data
sets up to 20 times faster. Lotus 1-2-3 versions 1 to 5, Excel versions 2.0 to 5.0, dBASE versions II to IV,
Quattro, Quattro Pro for DOS, Quattro Pro for Windows, ASCII, and user formulas are all supported.
3. TOTAL USER CONTROL of graphs, data specification, and the application, itself. PlotIT
3.2 for Windows offers a comprehensive Script Language to allow the program to be controlled by other
applications or your own program via DDE, to generate graphs and analyze data. A state-of-the-art tool bar
is user-configurable, complete with floating palettes, movable buttons, and user-defined programmable
buttons. The full-featured PlotIT Worksheet includes adjustable column formats; color, grid, and font
control; drag-and-drop data manipulation; and other features you will find only in true spreadsheet
applications, such as Quattro Pro and Excel. When it comes to creating your graphs, don't be locked into a
package which limits you to scientific "business charts". PlotIT allows you to move, size, and
edit nearly every aspect of all graph elements on the page to fit your visualization needs.
- You Will Get Results Faster With Less Effort Using PlotIT
Have you discovered that your current spreadsheet or graphing program is
insufficient for your needs? Many of your colleagues have already discovered that their spreadsheet
software offered only simple charting features -- while others offering graphing capabilities had an anemic
data table for entering data.
PlotIT is optimized for creative thinkers. It will give you the one solution for which you've
been looking and it will do it almost immediately! Plus it will help you discover new ideas that lead you
down entirely new roads. Now you will be able to extend the limits of your imagination!
"The PlotIT program also rates well in ease of use. I was very impressed with how
quickly I was able to produce usable graphs with this program. I definitely think that PlotIT merits further
evaluation..." -- PlotIT User, Harris CSD
You can expect to increase your productivity dramatically thanks to a large, powerful
worksheet designed for data manipulation and analysis. Our interactive worksheet is big: 32,700 rows
and 254 columns -- just what scientists and engineers need. PlotIT is designed for you with your needs
in mind!
Generate ready-to-publish statistical reports, such as One-way, Two-way, and Multi-
way Analysis of Variance, Probit Analysis, and Independence Testing, complete with recommendations on
supporting your tested hypothesis. Curve fitting includes Linear, Multiple Linear, Nonlinear, and Group
Regression, as well as spline fits and 3D surface interpolation.
"I am very impressed with its ability to handle 2D curves and plots. ... the statistical
abilities also look excellent." -- PlotIT User, USC
A graphics document displays your data in more variations than you thought possible. 2D and
3D graphs, Quality Control charts and all kinds of specialized graph types such as polar, 3D pie, and
triangle.
The Graph document gives you the flexibility to control every aspect of a figure with
essentially no limitations or struggles, while it also offers sensible defaults for quick plotting. You can
create your own 2D, 3D, and SP/QC graphs, customizing the output virtually
any way you want. Or you can choose from a library with hundreds of existing graph types.
Remember, with PlotIT, you're never at a loss for pictures!
"I used the PlotIT package for 5 years... It is certainly the most flexible and powerful
scientific graphing package that I have seen. PlotIT's niche is for making publication-quality, complex
scientific graphics."
-- PlotIT User, CES Kansas State University
You're just going to have to see our graphs to believe them. Even on short notice you will be
creating high quality, easily understandable graphics for presentation and publication. Equally
important, you can place numerous charts on the same page and compare your visual research data.
"I am most pleased with the Windows version of PlotIT. I use the [program]
extensively in my analyses as a data exploratory tool and for producing publication quality figures for my
manuscripts." -- PlotIT User, U. of Pittsburgh
Tired of converting, importing and exporting data files? PlotIT saves in the most popular
native formats, and opens data files (not just imports) from the programs you want! Plus PlotIT now
supports Microsoft's OLE so you can include PlotIT graphs in other applications, or include your own
graphics, clip art, and logos in graphs created within PlotIT. In addition, PlotIT for Windows provides
integration through Drag-and-Drop, a DDE interface (such as with Visual Basic, C, or C++), user-defined
DLLs, and the PlotIT Script Language.
Publisher's Review of PlotIT for Windows
- "PlotIT is notable for the complete flexibility it offers the user to control every
aspect of a figure with essentially no limitations, while also offering sensible defaults for a quick plot. All
this flexibility would result in a program which is very difficult to learn were it not for an excellent user
interface, which I found to be very intuitive, and a structure for the interactive manipulation of graphics
elements which makes optimal use of the Windows environment." -- Scientific Computing
& Automation, 1993

"What else could one ask for from a program ... I highly recommend [PlotIT] to
scientists who wish to have a program that serves so many purposes." -- David Drake, Ph.D.,
Dows Institute
PlotIT 3.2 for Windows is designed to overcome many of the previous limitations that were
inherent to any Windows application, such as robust fill patterns, line styles, and text editing. You may
define your own custom WYSIWYG line styles and fill patterns, which will eliminate the illegible bitmap,
"gray scale" phenomenon seen when printing to a high resolution laser printer.
PlotIT includes the RPN Scientific calculator by Mitochondria, offering an honest-to-goodness full-
featured Hewlett-Packard style interface. This product has a list price of $59, yet is included free with
PlotIT.
OLE support has been extended, allowing PlotIT to be both a Client and a Server. This means that
OLE Objects (with metafile display capabilities) may be embedded directly into PlotIT Graph documents.
Disk based graphic files may also be inserted into your graphs.
"I find myself creating a variety of charts using PlotIT which would not have been
possible using some of the [other packages]." -- PlotIT User, TEXTRON
Laying out and composing graphs can be done with the features you want: group selection for
sizing and moving; hiding unused elements; buffered redraw for quicker refreshes; and auto display for
modification of several graph elements at one time.
Range Mapper provides the easiest linking of worksheets and graphs ever offered in PlotIT,
by visually defining data ranges.
SP/QC charting is unsurpassed, with Capability, Xbar, Range, Std. Deviation, and ten others. Percent
confidence, variable control limits, and the ability to eliminate outliers are options available for various
control charts. Custom rule testing, with more visible notations, including violation boxes.
"We run the world's largest aluminum refinery with PlotIT. It does all of our
