Phillip-
The best SciGraphics package out to date is SigmaPlot v5.0. It costs about
$495 and will do everything including 3d. Drawbacks are: slow, not the
easiest to use, pricey. Pluses: Will graph about anything, can input directly,
via text files or by link to a spreadsheet, great output, very flexible,
very flexible curve-fitting including your own formulas, many predefined axis
types (log, logit, probit, etc), etc.... Very Good.

IMOH - If the spreadsheet manufactuerers would only get on the ball and put
in error bars for their x-y graphing routines, that would take care of 90+
of most peoples sci graphing routines.  How come business types NEVER need
to know the standard errors of their estimates??????
