Guest Coalbucket PI Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I've got a datasets with 8000 data points and Excel is freaking out, can anyone recommend any software that is any better? And free? When I search for graph software all I can find is mathematical graphing programs for equations and such, I need to plot data. This is going to be the hot topic of 2011, I know it.

jhonny Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 why is Excel freaking out? Never had a problem with using it with lots of data.

mcbpete Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yeah, I've had 10s of 1000s of datapoints before and it's not been an issue - Maybe it's your machine that's struggling rather than Excel ?

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 it is my machine I think. It takes it about a minute to draw a graph and then I have to adjust it so I can see whats going on which takes ages and it makes motor boat noises at me.

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Looks about right Babar but my department would only be able to afford their promotional coffee mug. I discovered something called SigmaPlot already installed, seems to be able to draw the same graphs as Excel but without killing me slowly Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/63127-graphs/#findComment-1499887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) maybe Octave? dunno really it's like an open source matlab clone but i don't use matlab so i have no idea if it can be used for this. http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/ also R, open source statistical analysis software so i guess (not sure either) it can do graphs and things with a lot of data. http://www.r-project.org/ you'd have to learn to use them tho.

kaini Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 not R. you might as well do a degree in programming as learn R, which is a right bitch.
