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 $899 and $1599[2] depending on academic, corporate, or government affiliation.[3] This perpetual license cost may be inaccurate as Grafiti LLC requires a discussion of quote to receive a license now.

As of version 16, a free 30-day trial is available via the website.

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.[4] 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.[5][6]

The current versions are 16.x and SigmaPlot NG Foundation for Windows XP to Windows 10.[7] It is now developed by Grafiti LLC.[8]

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.
