KaleidaGraph 是一款精心設計的圖形和數據分析應用程式,適用於研究科學家以及商業和工程領域的研究人員。它可以生成出版品質的圖表,並可以輕鬆地將最複雜的數據轉換為功能顯示。KaleidaGraph允許用戶導入,操作和分析數據,以及創建自定義圖。統計,線性和非線性曲線擬合以及生成數據精確圖形可視化的能力都使KaleidaGraph強大而靈活。
靈活的數據輸入
首次啟動KaleidaGraph時,將向用戶顯示數據窗口和公式輸入窗口。每個數據窗口最多支持1000列和100萬行。Microsoft Excel文件可以直接打開到KaleidaGraph中,用戶可以在導入時指定文本文件的結構。可以使用數據窗口的已發布註釋功能存儲有關數據的相關信息。
公式輸入窗口提供了使用各種代數和統計函數處理數據的功能。可以對整列數據,數據選擇或數據窗口中的單個單元執行這些操作。
快速和多功能的圖形選擇
KaleidaGraph提供各種線條和散點圖,包括雙y,雙x和雙xy。這些圖在單個圖中支持多達99個獨立和相關的y變量。其他繪圖類型包括統計(框,概率,直方圖和百分位數),條形圖,極坐標,餅圖和函數。
完全控制每個繪圖選項
創建繪圖後,用戶可以完全控制所有繪圖元素。“軸選項”對話框允許用戶控制每個軸的限制,縮放和軸標籤,以及刻度線和網格線的顯示。“繪圖樣式”對話框可用於更改繪圖上顯示的標記類型,大小,顏色和標記數。
有許多繪圖工具可用於進一步自定義繪圖。文本工具可用於創建完全風格化的文本標籤。提供繪圖工具以添加箭頭,線,框,橢圓,圓弧,多邊形和貝塞爾曲線。識別工具在每次單擊鼠標時顯示當前坐標。數據選擇工具可用於以圖形方式消除繪圖中的異常值。
精確的曲線擬合
KaleidaGraph的最大優勢之一是曲線擬合領域。KaleidaGraph支持線性和非線性曲線擬合,具有線性,多項式,指數,對數和冪函數的內置方程。提供四種平滑曲線擬合(平滑,加權,三次樣條和插值)以幫助改進數據的呈現。
非線性曲線擬合是通過KaleidaGraph的一般曲線擬合完成的。該曲線擬合允許用戶定義他們自己的等式,其可以包含多達九個未知參數。該程序附帶100多個不同的方程式,可用於擬合數據。
錯誤欄
可以以幾乎任何可想像的方式將誤差條添加到圖中:可以顯示完整的誤差條,單側誤差條和誤差弧。用於誤差線的值可以是數據統計的函數,由用戶修復或提供。如果用戶為錯誤值指定了文本列,則該列中的值將用於註釋圖中的點。
輕鬆影印和繪圖輸出
KaleidaGraph中的佈局功能允許用戶以合適的方式顯示圖表,表格和文本以進行發布或演示。用戶可以控制佈局窗口中元素的大小和位置,類似於頁面佈局程式。佈局可以影印,粘貼到其他應用程式中,或以WMF,TIFF,JPG,GIF,BMP,PNG或PICT格式導出。您需要的一切都在KaleidaGraph內部,而無需另外的程序來完成這項工作。
模板和公式腳本
其他功能包括模板圖和公式腳本。模板圖允許用戶拍攝任何預先存在的繪圖,並將其用作創建新繪圖的模板。原始圖中包含的任何曲線擬合或誤差條都會自動應用於新圖。
公式腳本通過提供導入數據的命令,使用代數公式對其進行操作,使用新繪圖或模板繪圖來繪製它,並將繪圖導出到文件,從而使事情更進一步。所有這些都可以通過很少或沒有用戶交互來完成。
強大的數據分析和操作
易於使用的分析數據的命令包括各種基本統計數據,學生t檢驗,ANOVA和Wilcoxon。使用公式輸入窗口可以使用方便的菜單中的100多個代數方程和統計函數來處理數據。
