DATAPLOT Summary
|
Introduction
|
DATAPLOT is a powerful and flexible program for performing
scientific, engineering, statistical, mathematical, and
graphical analysis. It is an interactive, command-driven
language/system with English-like syntax. It was
developed in response to data analysis problems
encountered at the National Bureau of Standards (now
the National Institute of Standards and Technology)
DATAPLOT is primarily written in Fortran-77, highly portable,
and runs on mainframes, minicomputers, workstations, and PC's.
Its capabilities include:

Downloading
|
DATAPLOT can be downloaded
via the web. Pre-built executables are available for several
common Linux/Unix platforms, Mac OS X, and for
Windows XP/VISTA/7/8. Source code is available for systems where
a pre-built executable is not available.
For assistance with downloading or set-up of DATAPLOT, contact
Alan Heckert or
Jim Filliben.
