v14.3.383 [May 15, 2019]
- Durov Plots: Durov plots are another way to present the same hydrological, hydrogeological, or geochemical data presented in Piper plots. Additionally, pH and TDS data can be added to the anion and cation data. The plots can have uniform points, or can use points binned into classes and displayed with different symbol properties..
- Create plots from row data: For a long time, Grapher has had the ability to transpose data, so if the data was presented along rows instead of down columns, users could rearrange the data for plotting. This is no longer necessary. Now Grapher allows for plotting row data as-is..
- Multi-page plot document: Space is a luxury. Sometimes it's necessary to create a single project file that contains many graphs, because they're all from a single data file or related data sets, or for some other reason. In the past, this could result in a plot document that was difficult to look at, since there were many tiny plots, and it could also make printing or exporting difficult, since the desired plot was not necessarily the one that lined up with the page border. No more! The file format for Grapher Preview has been adapted to support multiple pages, so you can create each graph in it's own page and still save to a single project file..
Fit Curve Improvements:
- Set numeric format for fit curve statistics.
- Automatic degree for Polynomial fit curves.
- Edit custom fit curve equations from the Property Manager.
- Save/load weights for Weighted Average fit curves.

v10.1.640 [Mar 6, 2013]
Modern Interface
The fully customizable ribbon can be minimized, new tabs can be added, or commands rearranged on existing tabs. Make your Grapher menus exactly the way you want.
Create Q-Q Plots
Q-Q plots is a type of probability plot that compares the probability distribution of two data sets by plotting their quantiles against each other. Each point plotted represents the same quantile in both data sets. A y=x line is plotted allowing easy visual interpretation of whether the two data sets are linearly related or from the same distribution.
Create Contour Function Plots
Contour function maps display three variable equations in two or three dimensions. Contour plots can be combined with other 2D and 3D plot types to give your graphs the best appearance. Alter all aspects of the contour map, including the vertical location in 3D and the contour line/fill properties.
Create 3D Vector Plots
Create 3D vector plots that connect two 3D points. Vectors can be determined by two XYZ points or by an XYZ point and distances in each of the X, Y, and Z directions. Color vectors all the same or determine the vector color based on the length of the vector.
Improved Box-Whisker Plot Display
Notches add statistical confidence to your box-whisker plots. By displaying notches, you are providing your reader with more conclusive evidence that your data is good. Notches also provide a quick way to compare two box-whisker plots. In addition to notches, you can now determine how whiskers are drawn. Draw whiskers to 1/99 percentile, 5/95 percentile, 10/90 percentile, minimum/maximum data values, or to a factor of the innerquartile range. You have full control over your data!
Customize Symbols with Class Plots
Apply a color scale to symbols. Make all symbols the same size or shape at once. Create incrementing symbol sizes based on class.
Create Pie Chart Legends
Sometimes, the pie chart you are displaying is too complex for labels pointing to each pie slice. Or, maybe you have multiple pie charts on your page with the same categories and colors. A simple legend can now be created displaying the slice category information.
Enhanced Error Bar Display
Error bars display information about a single set of data in your entire graph. But, the trend of the error bars also helps analyze the trend of the data. Now, with the enhanced error bars in Grapher, you can connect error bars. Or, export the error bar data values to a worksheet for further review.
Add Multiple Fit Types to Histograms
Not all data is normally distributed. Add Normal, LogNormal, Exponential, Power, or Inverse Gaussian fit curves to your histograms. Display fit statistics that indicate the goodness of fit of the selected distribution.
Fully Control Symbol Line and Fill Properties
Symbols now have full line and fill properties. Set the line width for the outside edge of the symbol to any size and line style or color. Set the fill pattern for the symbol to any Grapher fill pattern, including imported images. Make your symbols pop on your graph.
Lock Your Objects
Set your graph up exactly like you want it. Don't inadvertently change it. Select any object in your graph and lock either the position, size, or the position and size. Locked positions will not allow the object to move. Locked size will not allow the object to be resized.
Copy and Paste Object Format
Have an object that you have spent hours getting just right? Do you now need to get that same object's properties onto other objects or graphs? If so, you are going to love the Copy Format and Paste Format commands. Select the original object and copy the format. Select any number of new objects and paste the format. Paste between Grapher tabs to copy an existing graph's formats to another graph window.
Increased File Compatibility
You asked and we answered. Import and export in all popular formats! New data import formats include Excel 2007/2010 XLSM file format. New export data formats include Excel 2007 XLSX file format. In addition, import and export graphs directly from PDF files and JPEG2000 files. Export in PDF format with transparency, compression, and the page size.
Transpose Columns and Rows
Have some data that isn't quite in the correct format? Wish there were an easy way to convert it? Now there is. A worksheet that automatically converts columns to rows and rows to columns with a single click. Now your data layout is a snap.
