Kaleidagraph 4

Communicate your discoveries in a clear and convincing way

Your data, your results, your researches do not have much value if you don't share them. It doesn't matter if it's about an article on a professional magazine, a powerpoint presentation or your task for a job session, Kaleidagraph gives you all the tools you need to communicate in a clear and convincing way.

KaleidaGraph contains the comprehensive toolset you need to get your graphing and data analysis done quickly and easily. Period. No costly "bells and whistles" that you rarely use. No complicated software that costs you valuable time and takes you away from your science. Just exceptional, accurate graphing and analysis at a remarkable price.

VISUALIZE YOUR DATA

Flexible Data Entry
Begin your analysis by either opening a data file or entering data using the keyboard. Excel files may be opened directly. Tab, space, and other delimited text files use a very flexible import facility.

Fast and Versatile Graphing Choices
Create plots quickly and easily using entire data columns or just a selection of your data. Data can be spread across multiple files and seamlessly integrated into one powerful graph to best explain your work. Plot types include: Line, Scatter (X-Y), Double-X, Double-Y, Histogram, Box, Percentile, Horizontal Bar, Stack Bar, Column, Stack Column, Polar, Pie, Summary Column, Double Y Bar, Double Y Column, Dot and Function (enter a formula).

Complete Control over Every Plot Option
To customize every detail of your plot, simply click directly on each plot element, and a make the logical choices to best illustrate your data. You can modify the axis limits, text labels, tick marks, legend, line thickness, marker shapes & sizes, and more.

Templates
When you create a graph you like, save it as a template so you can use it with repetitive data sets for a consistent presentation.

ANALIZE YOUR FINDINGS

Powerful Data Analysis and Manipulation
Easy-to-use commands for analyzing your data include a variety of basic statistics, Student t-test, ANOVA, and Wilcoxon. Use the Formula entry window to manipulate your data using over 100 algebraic equations and statistical functions from convenient menus.

Error Bars
Add error bars to your plot where the error can be specified in a data column or can be calculated by KaleidaGraph.

Precise Curve Fitting
Apply a variety of curve fits to your plot. We supply 9 generic fits, including Least Squares (Linear) Regression and Smoothing fits, plus a library of over 100 industry-specific formulas. Utilize one of these predefined fits or enter your own equation for your data. All fits are calculated with incredible speed and accuracy.

COMMUNICATE YOUR RESULTS

Effortless Printing and Plot Export.
Use KaleidaGraph's page layout window to create multigraph presentations. Choose simple features that rearrange and resize your graphs. Then add text, colored backgrounds, and graphics as needed to achieve a professional result. Easily export graphs to PowerPoint, the web, or a favorite application using popular file formats.
