pro Fit comes with a spreadsheet editor for handling numeric and alphanumeric data sets of millions of rows and columns, a drawing editor for creating high quality graphs and presentations of data and functions, powerful curve fitting and data analysis tools, a built-in Pascal compiler for programming functions and macros, and more. It provides a context sensitive help mechanism, is scriptable and recordable with Apple Script and Pascal commands, and fully supports Mac OS X.
What's New
Version 6.2.7:
- Added a new checkbox to the Window Info dialog: "Autocompile when in Plug-ins folder". If this box is checked (default) and the document is placed in the Plug-Ins folder, the script in the document is compiled automatically on startup. If the checkbox is unchecked, the name of the document is added to the Prog menu, and, when the name is selected, the document opens.
- In a file compiled automatically on startup, the BOM field was not removed before compilation. And in the absence of a ##script or ##program directive, an incorrect name was used for the compiled script.
- Some scripts that could not be saved as plug-ins were erroneously added to the "Save As Plug-in" menu.
- Dots in Python script names are again correctly interpreted as submenu separators.
- Creation and disposal of single and multiple color legends through the graph options dialog has been fixed.
- Move command activated for Pascal scripts.
- Check for updates works again under OS X 10.7
- Python: pf.SetData, pf.ClearData and pf.DataOK now accept float as well as int arguments for the row and column arguments, also under Python 2.7
- ReadFromTextFile could have read too many bytes into the predefined buffer.
- Made the closing of drawing windows and the undo command in drawing windows more robust.
- The command MakeNewAxis mixed up the arguments 'scaling' and 'position'.
- Fixed a bug in the Voigt Peak function that caused imperfect fitting and incorrect reporting of the standard deviations of the parameters.
- Made some routines more robust against potential crashes.

If Pro Fit added this import capability I would buy it immediately.
A lesser complaint is that I would like to see some kind of project organization capability, where data, plots, and program files could be collected and accessed with Pro Fit in, say, a panel.
BTW, the "Similar Software" list on MacUpdate is really inappropriate as they are all graphing programs. Pro Fit is a complete programming environment (as well as graphing) with both Pascal and (now) Python. (As another commenter noted, the Python addition allows full access to NumPy and SciPy, a very big deal.)

This means for example that you can incorporate all the SciPy and NumPy functionality. It makes pro Fit instantly much, much more powerful. With these additions it should compare favorably with Igor Pro (which I have never used).

pro Fit 6.2 has been developed for Mac OS® 10.6 or better. Compatibility with earlier systems has not been tested, even though pro Fit 6.2 will probably also work (mostly) on MacOS 10.5."
plus the beta version of 6.2 also needs a valid rego. code for version 6.1

People who don't read the clear instructions on the site for the difference between demos and betas shouldn't have their ratings counted.

It IS an EXCELLENT program, please try the DEMO. I have replaced KaliedaGraph several years ago (its development has been essentially dormant since the mid-1990's) with it and have never looked back.

I´ve used to teach calculus as well as programming and it is one indispensable tool.
I just started using Pro Fit and it seems good, but how do you import excel files into it without the dates changing. I am having formating troubles. I can't seem to get the proper dates and it is driving me crazy.
Thanks for any advice!!!!
