What do you like best about Grapher?

I like that, even after its long history dating back to versions for DOS, it is still evolving and being actively supported. Its flexibility and adaptability are impressive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grapher?

That it still won't import the settings files from the DOS version. Yes, I know I'm an "edge case" but I did quite a few plots with version 1.75 of the DOS version of Grapher. I recreated one of my more important plots in version 1.0 of Grapher for Windows, and for practice, did it again with version 6---otherwise there has been no re-use of my old files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?

I no longer to make plots on a routine basis. I updated my copy of Grapher more for reasons of nostalgia than need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Grapher?

This is a well designed, and intuitive graphics tool that is very useful for data reduction methods. I think the presentation graphics are best in class Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grapher?

Unfortunately, at most smaller universities the dramatic cost increases in tuition, fees and IT costs force budget constraints that cannot be sported by our students, therefore, I am forced to demonstrate the power of Grapher in case analysis. The students cannot gain hands on familiarity with this fine tool. The costs and loan requirements have become terribly burdensome for our MBA students and we cannot obtain the number of licenses for our students Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
