I've experimented with RLPlot and Open Office spreadsheet, but they both have annoying features. RLPlot just sucks because it's not very plentiful with features, and spreadsheet just doesn't seem to do shit properly. Like say I wanted each horizontal division to equal 100 nano seconds, and I wanted each verticle devision to equal 2 volts... How can I get this to graph properly in open office? What would be nice, is software that offers you a graph like graph paper, with tools to draw (like paint) onto that lined paper. On top of that it would be nice if it could graph equations and a table of x y values. |

I personally love SigmaPlot, but it's not free. |

Taking a wee look through my bookmarks: http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/ - Generates graphpaper, I find it VERY useful. Watermarked, however. As for graphing, my school has some random software for it, nothing I'd call good. Excel and OpenOffice offer it, but if you want a visually appealing graph, Microsoft Works 97 looks BEAUTIFUL. However, you need it for more intricate processes, so... I don't know, sorry  |

Not as straightforward as Excel, but: MATLAB...which is about the furthest from free you can get. Scilab Like MATLAB but worse...except free. |

try this : http://www.padowan.dk/graph/ this is a program called "Graph". it doesn't let you paint graphs, however, you can use relatively advanced functions with it. the problem, of course, is you need to know what the equation of your line is. if you know that, you will be fine. it uses f(x) notation. you can also have tables of values. what grade are we talking here? |
