What's New in Grapher™ 7?
After compiling a list of
the new features in Grapher 7, we chose a small sample of these new
features to display here. Of course, these are only a few of the many
features available in Grapher 7!
New Graph Types!
New graph types in Grapher 7
include class scatter plots, polar class scatter plots, 3D XYZ class
scatter plots, and stiff plots!
Added Script Recorder!
Grapher always allows you to
create your graphs exactly like you want them. Now, as you create the
graphs, use the convenient script recorder to quickly create a script with
the steps needed to recreate the graph exactly. The new script recorder
and script manager windows are located conveniently directly inside
Grapher. Never again spend long amounts of time recreating graphs or
laboring over scripting languages. Graphs are efficiently created over and
over again with ease!
Create Multiple Symbols
on Scatter Plots!
 |
Grapher 7 has added the
ability to create multiple symbols on a single scatter plot! Choose to
either use different symbols for every point from a table, use a
worksheet column to specify the symbol, or use repeating symbols from
a table. With either the repeating symbols or the varied symbols, you
choose the symbol style, color, and size!
|
Take Control of Bar
Chart Widths!
|
Grapher now has the
option to create bar charts where the width of the bars can be set.
Choose from 3 different methods of setting the width: from a
percentage column, in page units, or using the current default width
settings.
Combine the width
options with existing different coloring options for a truly unique
bar chart! |
 |
Link Text to a
Worksheet Cell!
| Often you have information
in your worksheet that needs to be displayed on your graph. Now, there
is a quick and easy way to add text to your graph directly from your
worksheet cell. When the worksheet changes, so does the graph! |
 |
Change Box-Whisker
Outliers!
Box-whisker chart outliers
are points that are well outside the data median, but still contribute to
the definition of the whiskers of the plot. The definition of an outlier
is any point that:
falls below the lower
quartile – Factor * Inner quartile range
or
above the upper quartile + Factor * Inner quartile range
Grapher 7 now allows you to
set the outlier Factor value to any value you want, changing the way the
whiskers and outlier points appear on the graph. The default is still 1.5,
to mimic previous versions of Grapher.
Add Spline Areas and
Curves!
| Grapher 7 has added new
drawing types! Now, in addition to other drawing objects like text,
rectangles, ellipses, and points, you can enhance your graphs with
spline polylines and spline polygons! Easily edit the points used for
the spline objects to quickly change the shape of the line or
polygon! |
 |
Connect Moved Labels to
Points!
Labels that have been moved
can be difficult to read. Now, you have the ability to link the moved
label with a connection line. Easily set line styles.
Convert 2D Graphs to 3D
and 3D Graphs to 2D!
Grapher now has the ability
to convert 2D graphs to 3D and 3D graphs to 2D. Enhancing the look of your
graph has never been so easy! Start with either graph type and use the
Graph | Change Plot To command to convert the orientation to the other
graph type!
Additional New
Features!
-
Save time by creating
multiple plots from the worksheet in one step! Now, select all of the
columns you want and create all of the plots on a graph with one
command!
-
Quickly create bar charts
from categories using the updated, easier to use Graph Wizard!
-
Add bubbles to your
ternary diagrams to show additional information about the graph!
-
Import data directly into
Grapher from any ODBC compatible database, including Access, dBase,
Paradox, and more!
-
Allow Grapher to
automatically back up your files! Save time in power outages by using a
backup file to recreate your graph. You choose how often to save the
back up files!
-
Create "fill between"
graphs where the fill is vertical or horizontal between curves.
-
Store worksheet paths
either to a specific folder or to a relative folder name. For instance,
if your data is always in a sub-folder of where your graphs are, you can
use the relative naming convention to reference this data location!
-
Added box and margin
settings to the Text Editor. This allows the fill and line properties to
extend a distance away from the text. You set the distance!
-
You choose whether to
export page headers and footers with your graph!
-
Change all font sizes,
colors, or properties for all entries in a legend at the same time!
-
Link plot names and graph
titles to the legend! If the plot or graph name changes, the legend
automatically updates!
Comments From Beta
Testers!
-
"Overall, I'm very impressed with the
improvements! Well done on improving a great bit of software."
-
"The Script Recorder is AWESOME. This
will really help people who are not good at programming get a better
handle on how the language works."
-
"I like most the ability to adjust
everything in the graph!"
-
"I like the wide variety of graph types
available, and the intuitive feel of the program."
-
"...when Grapher 6 was introduced I
thought there was little more that could be done with it. How wrong I
was! Grapher is becoming a mature product!"
-
"The program keeps getting better &
better."
-
"Grapher is the best graphing software
out there that can be used in any situation."
