An alternative to Plot and SciDAVis is Veusz which is under heavy development

Hope there is a fix or workaround. Brilliant program. Top-notch.

I hope it's not the final version of it, because there is still some room for development.

(would I dare say: easier than Apple's one? just try importing a dataset in Grapher...)
Add to this a good documentation and very regular evolutions...
All the best to the developper!

But I can't enter data in a new data sheet. It always displays a date in the Y column. Poking around, I found that if I double click the column title it would change to a number that I could edit correctly. Weird...
It would be nice if it saved the windows state between launches (sizes and positions).
Happy Holidays ;)

Suggestions/questions:
- Can't I create a new data sheet and enter data manualy? There should be a New Data Sheet command, and when the Data Sheet is select, you could import/export data to/from it.
- I miss the option to select a data point in the graph using the mouse pointer (show the exact position in the inspector and/or highlight the data row in the data sheet).
- A step increment in the Calculations would be also useful, besides the total number of steps (both are related).
- The way the program uses to manualy place the legend is a little odd. Why not make it a regular text box and move it with the regular pointer, just like text?
If it could also export in PNG or JPEG it would be nice, although you can always use Preview to convert the PDF to other format.
I didn't understand all the option/command, but I am sure it will be easier where there's a help and or documentation available.
Congrats for the excellent piece of software and thanks for making it free! :)
