Graph Types Available
with Grapher
Display your data as one of
more than 40 different graph types in Grapher 7. Combine multiple graph
types to present your data in a completely new way! Alter any property
of any of the graph types to create compelling new graphs.
Create line plots
with plotted symbols, comments, and fit curves.
 |
 |
|
Class scatter
plots put the data into groups or "classes" based on
values in a worksheet column. |
Scatter plots can
also use varying repeating symbols, or different symbols for each
point. |
-
Ribbon/wall plots are
similar to line plots, but are shown with a 3D aspect!
3D Line/Scatter plots are used to display the location of points
with three variables. Display the data as lines, symbols or as lines
and symbols. Add wall projections, drop lines, or labels to
emphasis data on your graph!
|

|

|
|
Ribbon/wall plots
can be customized with
comments, fit curves, error bars, and legends. |
Display lines or
symbols in three dimensions
with the 3D XYZ Plot. Add drop lines or wall projections! |
Create step plots
with horizontal or vertical lines in 2D or 3D.
-
Bubble Plots display
data with varying sized symbols. The size of the symbol is dependent
on a third variable. Change the bubble to any symbol! Use a 2D
bubble plot that displays three variables or a 3D bubble plot that
shows the change in four variables. Use solid colors, gradient
fill colors, multiple fill colors, or any combination of color
choices to fill your bubble plots!
Create bubble plots
to show how one extra variable relates to the normal XY or XYZ
variables. Display in two or three dimensions!
-
Bar Charts display data
as adjacent or stacked bars. Choose to have vertical or horizontal
bars. Bar charts can be displayed as 2D or 3D! Use multiple
colors, gradient fill colors, or a combination of color choices for
bar charts. Display labels at the top of bars, at the bottom
of bars, or in both locations. Add error bars directly to your
bar charts.
Create bar charts with
horizontal or vertical bars.
Floating
bar charts can be displayed with multiple colored variables in
either
vertical or horizontal orientation.
-
Function Plots display
mathematical functions. Plot Y as a function of X, or plot a
parametric equation where X and Y are a function of a third
variable, T. Function plots can be shown in a 2D or 3D orientation.
Specify a function or
equation to create a graph. Position the axes anywhere on the
page. Break axes to reveal interesting trends in your data.
-
Hi-Low-Close Graphs
display a range of Y values at each X value. These plots are
commonly used to display the high, low, opening and closing of stock
values, though Hi-Low-Close graphs are also used for many other
purposes. Hi-low-close graphs can be displayed with the standard
line or with bars, the "candlestick" graph.
Track stock performance
with the High-Low-Close Graph. Overlay a
best-fit curve to predict future performance. Display as a candlestick
plot for even faster one-look analysis.
-
Polar Graphs display
degree, radian or grad data versus a radial distance. The degree,
radian or grad data are displayed on a circular angle axis. The
second axis is a radial axis showing the distance from the center of
the circle. Polar plots can display mathematical functions,
data, bars, or classed scatter plots. Display in degree, radian, or
grad data.
 |
 |
 |
|
Angle axes can
display text for labels. Combine multiple polar plots in a single
graph. |
Similar to XY bar
charts, polar bar charts allow comparison of multiple bars on the
angular axis. |
Polar function
plots display curves using mathematical functions. |
-
Rose Diagrams display
degree, radian or grad data versus a radial axis. Like histograms,
Rose Diagrams display statistical data, showing the number of
occurrences of an event that fall within a specific angular region.
Bins are fully customizable in rose diagrams!
|

|
|
Rose
diagrams can display statistical
information
similar to histograms. |
-
Wind Charts graph
frequency vs. wind direction. Bins are created according to the wind
speed. The frequency can be viewed as counts, relative frequency, or
as percentages of relative frequency. Bins are fully customizable!
|

|
|
Wind charts can
show wind direction binned by speed. |
Display the pie
together or explode a slice.
On a Pie Chart, choose how to label each slice.
|

|
|
Stiff plots can
be color filled to aid in the interpretation of the graph. |
Display the Ternary
Diagram with or without labels.
Add lines between the points to show trends.
-
Histograms display data
separated into groups or bins. Add labels, a Gaussian fit, and
display the Y axis as relative frequency to change the display of
this graph. Display histograms as either 2D or 3D!
Display statistical
information on a Histogram Graph. Set the number and size of
bins.
-
Box-Whisker plots are
commonly used to show the min, max, median, and lower and upper
quartiles for a particular group. The caps at the end of each box
indicate the extreme values (min and max).
