DPlot

DPlot is a software application that allows you to create and manipulate high quality graphs, but also 1, 2, 3 and 4D data, from a variety of sources.

The interface of this app is quite easy to use, but only if you know all the information presented. You see, this program was developed specifically for professionals such as website designers, software developers, engineers, geologists and technical writers and so on. In other words, if you are not familiar with the lingo used, you might find navigating through it difficult.

Despite all this, DPlot has a very extensive ‘Help’ section, being able to provide users with a lot of examples of what you can do in the program and also how to actually do it. If you are familiar with the terms used in this program, then you will be able to learn how to use DPlot quite easy, with the provided step by step help.

The software app allows you to create multiple types of scaling, including probability ones, but also special purpose scale types such as grain size distribution plots, tripartite grid, polar charts, triangle plots, hydraulic scales and Mercator projection. You will also be able to create randomly spaced 3D points and points on a rectangular grid. In the latter, you are able to produce a waterfall plot, a 3D bar chart, and a simple wire frame mesh.

Another feature that some of you might enjoy, is the fact that you are able to add background pictures or clipart images such as a company logo to your 2D plots. The images can be uploaded from a number of formats such as BMP, GIF, JPG, and PNG and so on.

To conclude, although DPlot might not be understood by many, the program is very helpful and it can be easily used by novice professionals and experienced ones alike.
