SigmaPlot is a proprietary software package for scientific graphing and data analysis. It runs on Microsoft Windows.[1]

The software can read multiple formats, such as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and can also perform mathematical transforms and statistical analyses. A single, perpetual product license costs between $700 and $1300 depending on academic, corporate, or government affiliation.[2] This perpetual license cost may be inaccurate as Grafiti LLC requires a discussion of quote to receive a license now.

A free 30-day trial used to be available,[2] however, since development was taken over by Grafiti LLC, this trial is no longer offered.

History

[edit]

SigmaPlot was developed by Jandel Corporation for Windows 3.1x and maintained by them until version 4.0. In 1996, Jandel Corporation merged into SPSS Inc.[3] SigmaPlot was maintained by SPSS through version 8. As of version 9, it was owned and maintained by SYSTAT Software, before SYSTAT was acquired by Inpixon on 6 July 2020.[4][5]

The current versions are 15.x and SigmaPlot NG Foundation for Windows 2000 to Windows 10.[6] It is now developed by Grafiti LLC.[7]

Alternatives and clones

[edit]

The main competitors of SigmaPlot are currently Origin and GraphPad Prism. Open-source projects inspired by Origin include QtiPlot (prior to v0.9.9, now proprietary) and SciDAVis.
