Plot2 Pro overview

Plot Pro is a scientific 2D plotting program. The project started in 1993 with SciPlot on NeXTStep and continues with "Plot" for OS X till 2007.

Plot is designed for everyday plotting: it is easy to use, it creates high quality plots, and it allows easy and powerful manipulations and calculations of data.

Basically Plot allows you to work with multiple documents where every document consists of one or more XY data sets (called buffer in Plot). There is also the ability to add subviews (plots inside plots) to your document. A subview is completely independent with its own data buffers, graphic attributes, etc.

Data can be imported from text or binary files, directly from a MySQL database, with a Perl based import filter or from EPICS. It is also possible to import data by using copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop from other programs.
Plot supports many plotting styles like lines, symbols, grids, bars, filled areas, sticks, dots, histograms, error bars, automatic legend, text and graphic objects, etc.
Plot has many data manipulation methods integrated: smooth, spline interpolation, differentiation, integration, normalizing, moving, data calculations, function generator, etc.
Plot has also a built in macro language for automating complex tasks.

There's no note on where data import/export files are, I had to export one then do a Mac-wide search to find that it defaults to the Documents folder. I can't figure out how to add text to a plot other than axis titles. I can't figure out how to add data points (the 'add' button doesn't do anything). It doesn't even accept it's own export format for import...

I'm glad to see that the developer is finally charging money for this fine app., "Pro" added to the name. Freeware has a tendency to indicate a lack of dedication. This developer has not shown that lack, but still it is reassuring to see a modest fee charged. It seems that it is also available on the Mac app store.

A real great prgram! It has many possibilities to visualize Datasets and to plot functions in 2D. And it is easy to use and works without any problems here in Mavericks (10.9.2). Thank you Michael for adapting the arrowplot!

It's really great to see this back and being developed! As a bonus the version number has skyrocketed past 0.9 recurring, skipped 1.x altogether and gone straight for 2.x - so you know it's gonna be good ;-). Welcome back, you have been missed.

Every one should email the developer to make this opensource.
