DataGraph is a software application for scientists, analysts, and students who love working with data. DataGraph allows you to import, organize, compute, and visualize data while making custom, publication quality graphics, figures, and even animations.
Go well beyond the capabilities of a spreadsheet without the need to learn a coding language. Build graphs using a visual, object-driven approach. No problem importing huge datasets. DataGraph is optimized to work with millions of rows of data. Beyond graphing, use the app to connect datasets, manipulate data, and build pivot tables. Evaluate functions or fit functions to data. Use mathematical actions to differentiate, integrate, or find extreme values from columns of numbers.
Learn by Example:
The online examples provide a built-in learning tool and resource for creating graphs. Explore basic line plots, bar graphs, pie charts, and scatter plots. Learn how to create custom graphs, such as ternary, spider, or mosaic plots. New examples are continually added based on user input and feedback. Attend live webinars or watch video tutorials on the DataGraph YouTube Channel.
Interactive editing:
Combine data with design. Edit graphs using menus and sliders to adjust fonts, line widths, and colors interactively. Specify exact sizes for output using units of measure (inch or cm) or pixel-based sizes. Save time by seeing changes in real-time. Add labels and annotations. Do all your editing in DataGraph or export to an SVG or PDF file to edit in other software.
Data exploration tools:
QuickGraph uses built-in templates to create histograms, scatter plots, or bar graphs. To use, select one or more columns and hit the space bar. QuickGraph provides an instant data summary that closes the next time you hit the space bar. The Loupe tool is a data magnifier for your images, while Hover tooltips provide data pop-ups for points, bars, and box plots.
Easy import and export:
Drag and Drop importing for data and images. Directly open CSV files or Excel spreadsheets. Import file formats used in science and engineering, such as MatLab or NetCDF. Create custom data parsers. Export bitmap images, such as JPG or PNG, or vector graphics, including PDF and SVG formats. Export movies as mp4 files.
Active user community:
The DataGraph Community contains a Knowledge-base, a user Forum, and News. Explore the online Knowledge-base for "How-Tos" and Reference documents. Ask questions or make suggestions on the Forum. Or, email the DataGraph Team directly from the Help menu in the app. Under the Help menu, you'll also find a link to the DataGraph Manual.
DataGraph is created by Visual Data Tools, winner of the Apple Design Award in 2005 for the best macOS Scientific Computing Solution, DataTank.

Nothing Like It - AMAZING CONTROL
Stuke
Multi-year user now, and I can tell you there is no other graphing/charting/plotting program out there for the Mac that produces such a variety of graphical visualizations of your data.Hands down…the best graphical software one can get on the Mac. Version 5.x rocks!I've searched for years and years for the right Mac OS X plotting / graphing program. I've been an ardent Kaleidagraph fan, from my earlier OS 9 bouts with Deltagraph and CricketGraph. For simple schoolwork to sophfisticated journal-style graphics, it was always a chore to prepare exactly the graphic representation of my data with everything in the past (albeit KG was pretty good). Now I've played with DataGraph and discovered it is truly the Mac OS X app extraordinaire! You really need to download the demo version from the web site, play with it with an intent to understand what data graphing and function fitting should be without the underlying programming in something like Plot or R, and you'll quickly realize this app can't be beat. There will always be one or two small things that I as a single user would like to see different or added, so we'll see how well the program is updated (their website suggest 2-3 per year) but I'm happy to say I look forward to using this program quite often. Price is steep, but once again, when you realize what you've just bought and what it can do, I think you'll find it is a fair price. Let's hope some simple 3D graphing is added from their academically-bent professional DataTank.
Developer Response
Thanks. Regarding 3D graphing, ImageTank is a sister program that does this and is in public beta. If you have a DataGraph account (create using the Account Information window in DG) ImageTank will automatically register. IT has 3D graphing using Metal, external actions and a lot more. Send feedback to help@visual... to tweak/suggest functionality.
Datagraph 4.5 Bombs on my OSX 10.9.5
AncientSci
Datagraph is a wonderful application, and I love it (I have used it up through version 4.4 for years). Datagraph says it is compatible with OS 10.9.X and above. However, when I upgraded from version 4.4 to 4.5, the application crashed and I was unable to get it to run prperly on my OS 10.9.5 system. I reverted by to Datagraph version 4.4, and everything is well again. So, if you’re still running OSX 10.9, be wary of the 4.5 version of Datagaph.UPDATE TO MY REVIEW: DataGraph 4.5.1 fixed my problem, and so I have upgraded my rating to 5 stars. Many thanks to DataGraph tech support for their rapid fixing of this error.
Developer Response
This is fixed in 4.5.1. Please try it out. Please report bugs either on the community board or through our help e-mail. Thanks for using DataGraph!
Nice overall app for making charts
Dave551404
I had 3 charts made in about two hours and they look great, Only a few dislikes one is the online sample files window that opens when you start the app it is completly useless. Who needs or wants to look at sample files all the time? and have to be connected to internet to see them atleast you can disable it so it doesnt open everytime. A Template chooser is much more useful almost all quality apps have them so you can easily choose a basic project and get started quicky.
Developer Response
There is a check box in the lower left corner to not have it open at startup. The example files are searchable and are a good way to learn how to use the program through examples.They are on-line and not included, since some of them are pretty big and it is a waste of your disk space to include them all. The examples are updated pretty frequently without you having to download anything. You can certainly use them as templates, but because most graphs are only a few clicks away it won't speed you up that much. It is easy to create your own templates (see the File menu) if you find yourself doing the same prep work over and over.
Just wonderful App -- Can't thank enough!

My favorite MacOS app and my favorite plotting software (the only other tool I use for plots is gnuplot for quick overview of some results) . I was used to Originlab for a long time and used to miss it badly on MacOs. My friend introduced me to Datagraph 5 years ago, and it just feels like something developed by a scientist for other researchers. It just saves me a ton of time, and can't imagine how I can get work done without it. Just wonderful!!
