potting experimental data with kmplot?
by ups on Wednesday 31/Jan/2007, @07:10

The new interface of kmplot looks pretty cool and the feature listing is impressive. I just wonder why it does not support plotting of x,y-data (or have I overlooked something on the feature page)? To me as an engineer kmplot would be much more useful if I could compare experimental (x,y) data to mathematical functions, which kmplot plots so well.

The next version of KChart will hopefully be able to do that. KOffice 2.0 is not released yet, but then again, neither is kmplot 4.

Do kmplot and kchart share libraries? I hope there isn't extra duplicated effort in drawing graphs, and the kmplot graphs look much nicer than those in kchart 1.6.

Looking forward to KOffice 2.0!

Kst from extragear is a very powerful tool for data plotting, which you might find useful

One really good solution I have found is www.zunzun.com . The website author uses open-source tools to display and fit data, as well as data analysis statistics and graphs. I used it to do data analysis for a paper I recently prepared, and recommended it to the lab supervisor at my university for use in the undergraduate physics labs.

Another good option is Gnuplot. I've also done plotting in Kile, the KDE Latex interface, though it was function plotting and not fitting. While I agree that it would be a good addition to KDE, I have to give a shout-out for some tools that have been very useful for me.

I'm glad you found my web site useful. The site fitting code is available under a BSD-style license at http://sf.net/projects/pythonequations.
