Introduzione
in Italiano
KaleidaGraph
è uno dei più semplici, intuitivi ed economici software,
presente sul mercato, per l’analisi di dati e la grafica scientifica.
Le caratteristiche
vincenti di KaleidaGraph sono: la potenza di analisi dei dati
unita alla semplicità di personalizzazione dei grafici; la
capacità di gestione di larghissimi set di dati; la velocità
di esecuzione dei comandi; la completa compatibilità con MS
Excel; il prezzo imbattibile!
This latest
update builds on the rock solid performance and reliability
that customers are already enjoying with KaleidaGraph 4 by
addressing the most important issues reported by customers:
- Added
support for the Intel Macintosh. The installer will install
the correct version based on the processor in your computer.
- Bitmap
file export such as BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF now uses
QuickTime to generate the export files. As a result, several
new noptions
are available for some of the formats such as byte ordering,
LZW compression, and variable JPEG export quality.
- High
Resolution TIFF images are exported with a resolution of
576 dpi.
- The
Help file is now in a different format. QuickHelp is no
longer needed to view the Mac Help file and the WinHelp
program is no longer needed under Windows.
KaleidaGraph
contains graphing, regression analysis and statistics all
in one easy-to-use application. See what’s new.
Extended
Plotting Capabilities
With KaleidaGraph 4.0 you can break an axis, move axes
and drag the x and y axes away from the plot. |
Significant
Interface Enhancements
The KaleidaGraph data window has been completely
redesigned allowing for
greater flexibility when probing
technical data. The new release also contains a
refined and reorganized interface including tabbed dialogs
which provide intuitive access to plot settings and variable
choices. |
Features
of v. 4.0
Powerful
Curve Fitting. Built in fits include: Smooth, Weighted,
Cubic Spline, and Interpolate curve fits, as well as Least
Squares Regressions (linear, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic,
and power).
