One of the magazines, MacWorld I believe, has a review of scientific
graphing packages this month. Sorry I can't be more precise, but all of
those magazines are at home.
I have heard of at least two scientific graphics packages: Kaleidagraph,
and Igor. Kaleidagraph is written by Lonnie Abelbeck, who brought us
VersaTerm. I bought a copy; it seems to be a fairly good package, with
an emphasis on scientific and statistical graphics.
I've been looking for a good business graphics package for the Mac--
something comparable to Harvard Graphics on the PC. I've got Wingz and
Excel; both do nice graphics, but bring a lot of other stuff along. Wingz
is real slow on a Plus. (This is rel 1.0.)
I've heard about a new program called DeltaGraph, which is supposed to be
much better. I've ordered a copy; I'll give a report when it arrives.
