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 6.2.6:
  • Python scripts: Errors raised in a try-block are not flagged as pro Fit errors anymore.
  • Copy fitted parameters to Parameters window works again under all circumstances.
  • Modified the way that pro Fit deals with files in the "pro Fit Plug-ins" (or "pro Fit Modules") folder. The purpose of the change is to provide a means for automatically adding Python scripts to pro Fit on startup since Python scripts cannot be saved using the command "Save As Plugin..." from the Customize menu. As before, on startup, pro Fit scans the contents of that folder. With each item that it encounters, it does the following:If the item is a pro Fit plug-in, it is added to the Prog or Func menu, respectively.If the item is a (non-compiled) pro Fit function or program file, the contents of that file are compiled. Any program or function resulting from a successful compilation is added to the Prog or Func menu.If the item is any other type of file, it is added to the Prog menu. Choosing the item will open the respective file.

6.2 is a very significant update. pro Fit has been "integrated" into Python. Now you can write programs as Python scripts where the pro Fit functions and commands are just part of a Python library.

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).

please note that version 6.2's system requirements, according to pp.10 of its manual are ,"System Requirements:
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

Had to post a review for this outstanding application to counterbalance the idiot "frustrated statistician" below.

How does this compare to Igor Pro lately?

With all the features you get for $95 (what is the cost of competing packages?), its intuitiveness (how fast do new users learn Igor?), and the good stability and user-support, this is an amazing program and I can only give it maximum rating. Great value for your money, great useability, and it provides 98% of all the features you will ever need for data and function analysis purposes in a very accessible (and easily expandable) way. It is much better to get 98% of what you will ever need in a package that is so approachable that you won't forget how to use - rather than to get 99% at the cost of a complicated and difficult to learn program.

Good program. But, note my ease of use and feature ratings are both high even thought I believe for many users it will be rather low. Basic graphing is on par with the old Cricket Graph 1. But, I rated features high because it is highly programmable. It is much easier to get started in that Igor Pro, but not as powerful.

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

I note that you gave a single star for stability. If you have any issues to report, please let us developers know at profit@quansoft.com.

No it is NOT a DEMO, it IS a BETA version that requires a v5.6.x license to use. A demo version of the CURRENT final release 5.6.6 IS available from their website. When v6.0 is no longer in BETA, I weel expect them to a the v5.6.6 DEMO replaced with a v6.0 DEMO.

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´v ebeen using pro fit for severla years now ,and it´s the perfect replacement for DeltaGraph. Granted, it doesn´t support as many chart types as DeltaGraph but is moe powerful due to its Pascal programming.

I´ve used to teach calculus as well as programming and it is one indispensable tool.

Hi,

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!!!!
