AlphaPlot

AlphaPlot is an application that enables you to create various 2D and 3D charts from different sources that you upload or enter manually in the embedded spreadsheets.

The primary role of the program is to help you build different types of plots for your projects that entail data analysis. The app supports the standard 2D chart, namely surface plots, line, bar, pie or scatter. It allows you to create 3D graphs by specifying a third variable as well as the formula of the surface plot and the variable's dimensions.

The advantage of the application comes from the fact that it enables you to customize the graphical representations of the data. To put it simply, you can add text, images, time stamp or a new legend, an option that can come in handy when working with multiple variables at the same time. Other customization features worth mentioning include error bars, functions, automatic layout, curves or re-arranging layers.

In addition to generating plots, the program can also perform several statistical and mathematical analysis, namely differentiate, integrate, smooth, FFT filter and quick fit. In the eventuality that your plot contains curves, then you can perform curve fitting using custom functions or expressions. Regardless of the graphs you create, the program enables you to export them to various formats – PDF, SVG or ESP – so that you can access them via other third-party software or devices.

On the downside, the interface is comprised of several panels that you can hide whenever you do not need them and re-open them by accessing Project Explorer. Unfortunately, navigating through the interface is not very intuitive and the lack of the help content might make using this app slightly more challenging for first-time users.

AlphaPlot is a small, but efficient utility that enables you to perform various mathematical and statistical analysis and plot the data in graphs that permit you to view the correlations and differences better.
