OpenPlot: Open-Source Computer Algebra System for Data Visualization
OpenPlot is an open-source computer algebra system and interactive geometry software focused on plotting and data visualization. It can create 2D and 3D plots, animations, statistical charts, geometric figures, drawings, and more.
What is OpenPlot?
OpenPlot is an open-source computer algebra system and interactive geometry software for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It focuses on high-quality 2D and 3D plotting, statistical charts, data visualization, geometry, drawings, diagrams, and mathematical expressions.
Some key features of OpenPlot include:
- Intuitive graphical user interface for interactive plotting, geometry, and diagramming
- High-quality 2D plots with line styles, markers, axes, grids, and legends
- Extensive statistical charts like histograms, bar charts, pie charts, scatter plots, heat maps, and more
- 3D surface and contour plots, parametric plots, animations, spherical and geographic maps
- Tools for building geometric figures like points, lines, polygons, circles, curves
- Diagramming tools for flowcharts, UML diagrams, electrical schematics, network graphs
- TeX-like typesetting of mathematical equations and formulas
- Scripting language to automate tasks and create custom tools and interfaces
- Import/export to common file formats like SVG, PDF, Excel, CSV, JPG
- Free and open-source under the GNU GPL license
