"Fantastic engineering plotting software."

April 29, 2010  |   By jsc3000

Version: DPlot 2.2.8.5

Pros

Easily extends Excel graphing capability. Zooms, hiding curves, easy curve manipulation with math and macros. Can handle huge data sets. Product support from the program writer that will absolutely spoil you.

Cons

Would like some additional capability to support more than two y-axes. It's promised, but again, you'd have to pay 10-20 times more to get that in another package, and you would be missing DPlot's ease of use.

Summary

I've been using this product for over 5 years. It's a fantastic value - it greatly enhances the ability to view and manipulate data. Convenient link to Excel, or can open data sets larger than Excel can handle directly. If you're an engineer and review field data covering many hours of data collection, you need this program.

"The best independent graphing software out there."

November 5, 2008  |   By ballspin

Version: DPlot 1.7.9

Pros

Easy to create templates, easy to learn macros, easy to edit templates, cram a bunch of useful data into a beautiful plot and then easily cut and paste right into Office 2007. Lacks nothing.

Cons

I haven't found any. I love this program (ver 2.2)

Summary

Concise and clear, professional looking graphs are my business. I produce hundreds of graphs every year for technical papers and this product is absolutely the best, most adaptable software I've found. I'm using version 2.2, the CNET version is extremely outdated.

"Best for only 2D graphing and maths related plotting"

August 31, 2007  |   By a midsummer night dream

Version: DPlot 1.7.9

Cons

It has 3D plotting functions, but looked like it is kind of useless to me...does not even help me in plotting out 3D graphs, only show out 2D.

"Fantastic program and add-on for Excel"

June 22, 2007  |   By jsc3000

Version: DPlot 1.7.9

Pros

Fantastic software for the price. Loads huge data sets, or use with Excel. Zoom in, pan, turn curves on and off, data manipulation, labels, notes, equations. Does so many things. Version is up to 2.1.22 (cnet version is old - very old!). David Hyde is very responsive to fixing any bugs, and adding features. Compared to similar programs, this is a bargain.

"can be used if you're determined and have no other options"

Version: DPlot 1.7.9

Pros

plotted box plot that i needed quickly, and i could paste in the values from excel.

Cons

help was not helpful, no instructions on how to do things, whoever is using this must be experienced on computers and feel their way around the program, it takes a lot of trial and error, but it does produce more than the 3 graphs mentioned by another user.
