Post by thread:[OT]software for printing graphs?

I need some software that will print graph paper. I don't need the software to plot the graph from my own data. I just need something to print the graph paper. The catch is I need to be able to do 1, 2 or 3 decades per Y and 1, 2 or 3 decades per X axis. Some of the graphs need to be linear on the X axis and log on the Y axis, or visa versa. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Art

How about some sort of CAD package? I've used AutoCAD for this before, though it might be a bit of overkill for your budget.

Try: http://www.marquis-soft.com/ I have used it for years. cheap. very useful. Martin Baker " But Sahib, he must be a very powerful magician. Every night he goes into his tent and unpacks two boxes. One of the boxes is black, scorched and smells of the worst brimstone. The other box is ornate, wooden, and has silver wheels on it. That one is full of glass bottles with fire Djinns that come alive when he chains the two boxes together. And then, I swear to Allah, you can hear voices speaking to him in all the tongues of man, and he keeps at this until dawn."

take a look at "logpaper" http://meesoft.logicnet.dk/ it's free. I didn't try it, but used some other great software from these guys !

Hey! The SmartMorph guys! They even have my sig file on the top of their site :) Sadly, they have this right below it: One of the servers hosting out website has crashed so some downloads are temporarely unavailable. Unfortunately this also means that the latest posts to the support forum has been lost.

There are several sites out there that have PostScript code to generate graph paper, such as: http://homepages.gac.edu/~wolfe/courses/graph-paper/ The benefit of PS is that you can modify it fairly easily, and can do math to figure out the coordinates.

It had crossed my mind that it would be pretty simple business to write a PostScript program to generate whatever graph paper a person wants, but most people don't have a way to print PostScript, and most people DO have Excel or Open Office. Yeah, it's a heck of a big club for a simple job, but it's a club most folks are familiar with. Just enter into a sheet the min and max for each axis, create a scatter plot as a new sheet, then adjust the scales to your liking ... you can set log or linear, as many decades as you want, etc. Select the series and set the symbol color to no color, and you have plain graph paper. Now you can go crazy setting colors, line styles, background patterns, etc. etc. etc. Pretty easy to do almost anything imaginable. --McD

If you have a graphing program start it up, make an empyt graph with the scales adn grids you need, and print it. Or learn Post Script. Or draw your scales in CAD and print them. Or draw the scales using a Basic/Java/ whatever you like best program. hope this helps, Peter
