Plotting applications for MacOSX

27. November 2006 1 Kommentar

There are a couple of nice plotting apps out there for MacOSX. Ⅰ have been using Plot myself for much of my thesis and related work, but this review has shown a great alternative: DataPlot, which could be mistaken for DataPlot (a free multi-platform software for plotting and data analysis created by NIST. And actually this app seems to be doing very many cool things, including Design of Experiments and related… In any way: this is just a UNIX-app and runs on top of X11, so be prepared for an extraterrestrial experience). Now, the OSX DataPlot is very cool and integrated with most OSX technology, almost guaranteeing nice graphs and mac look and feel. Check it out!

MacBreakZ

Year: 2006

Version: 4

Author: Frank Reiff

Platform: Mac OS

Category: Utility

Publisher: Publicspace

Price: 9,95

Rating: 5 out of 5

The old-time classic of mac anti-RSI applications has been updated, finally, to a MacOSX-savvy version. [MacBreakZ](http://www.publicspace.net/MacBreakZ/) is now available in version 4 (free upgrade for anyone who purchased after Jan 1st 2005, else USD 10) and it is functional as before: it checks your activity level, stops you for short micro breaks during work phases, interrupts these work phases with short breaks and also suggests stretching exercises to do during these breaks. Additionally it warns you before these breaks happen and enforces them, but it doesn’t do so if you are really busy. The application’s look and feel is just as you would expect for a Mac application. It is transparent, as unobtrusive as you like, but can be as obvious as you need it — customization of transparencies is available as well as of any other part of the application. Set your own timers, warnings and sounds effects. If you ever think you should do more breaks, working at the computer is killing you; this app is for you. Especially if you have first hand experience of RSI: don’t take it too easy and give yourself the necessary breaks! It is well worth the effort! Note: more info on RSI and its prevention has been written [here](http://www.dekay.org/blog/archives/rsi-prevention)

Plot 0.95

23. April 2006 Keine Kommentare

My favorite plotting application for MacOSX Plot has been updated. New features include new plot styles (histogram, sticks and dots), better axis scaling and dynamic symbols — besides the “obligatory” bug fixes.

Thank you Michael!
