DESCRIPTION

OmniGraphSketcher (formerly Graph Sketcher) helps you make elegant and precise graphs in seconds, simply by sketching what you want. Specifically designed for reports, presentations, and problem sets where you need to produce sharp-looking graphs on the fly, OmniGraphSketcher combines the data plotting power of charting applications with the ease of a basic drawing program.

Add as many lines as you like to represent goals, cutoffs, or other boundaries. Shade in areas, connect and align objects, and add labels anywhere on the graph as you go. Enter data visually with a click of the mouse, and if your data is already in a spreadsheet or database program, just copy and paste it right into OmniGraphSketcher.

OmniGraphSketcher has an intuitive and simple interface so that you can quickly find what you want, while behind-the-scenes algorithms take care of all the details. It's an ideal solution for anyone who needs to make plots and graphs without the hassle of using a complicated data visualization program.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.1.1 beta 1:
  • Now includes Japanese and French localizations.
  • Added support for storing CMYK colors natively. The CMYK sliders no longer behave strangely when modifying the color of graph objects.
  • Fixed an issue where Undoing lines or fills under certain circumstances caused the application to crash.
  • Improved rendering of arrowheads for 1-pixel-thick lines.
  • When you copy data points from OmniGraphSketcher into another program, any labels attached to those points are now included in the export. OmniGraphSketcher can also now import data labels regardless of whether they come before or after the number columns.
  • "Paste as Line" menu item now works for points copied from OmniGraphSketcher (not just data imported from other applications).
  • Improved the precision of best-fit line parameter calculation.
  • When the graph window is translucent, the window's shadow now always matches the graph contents.
  • When error bars are created from points that have the same y-value but different colors, the black color is now chosen for the error bar lines.
  • Updated the keyboard shortcuts reference document.
  • To reduce screen clutter, release notes no longer open automatically.
  • Smaller fixes and improvements.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

DREMWKR  Wow! This app is so intuitive. I wish Numbers could be this way. (For that matter Excel).

It is innovative and raises the bar for data visualization. Um, data visualization for the rest of us! And,... the price is right! Even as a beta it proved to be stable. My guess is Omni still has some more features to add, which is OK with me.

PABLITO  I bought it two weeks ago. No regrets. Works smooth, even being a beta. I work with sheets with more than 2k lines, and the plot here happens. Faster and more beautiful than using Numbers. I am excited about the software evolution. I hope it keeps the track. I recommend it.

PABLITO  I am wondering to buy this software, but 30 bucks! sounds expensive, once OmniGraffle is a more complete software, even iWork with all the features. Well, let's see. Omni do a good job always. To me is one of the best software-houses, and this software shows potential. But it is expensive at moment.

MSWFUJOWDFFYC  I demo'd graph sketcher about a month ago and absolutely and was so impresssed that I ended up purchasing it within the hour. Yesterday I received a free upgrade for OmniGraphSketcher, and although it's very similiar to GraphSketcher, the upgrades are mostly tweaks that enable quicker graphing by way of shorter-shortcuts. I use this software while taking in-class econ notes, meaning this software is fast and user friendly enough where I can create graphs as quick as the teacher can put them on the blackboard. I can't even tell you how much easier it is to comprehend these graphs as opposed to the dozens of pencil-drawn messes in my spiral notebook when reviewing!

PABLITO  Thanks for the reply. I am really encouraged to test - I will do it this weekend. Omnigroup is very gentle and attentive. This software looks great, but unfortunately, as I said, a little bit expensive to me. I hope it keeps evolving and more integrated with iWork (specifically Numbers).

MAHER  Finally I found why this version is crashing when launched. The problem is an incompatibility with Default Folder. I just add it to the excluded application in Default Folder and everything is working perfectly. May be the developer could check why it's incompatible with Default Folder

MAHER  I love this little app, but since I installed the last version, it launchs but quit immediately. I sent an email to the developer. The version before is still working properly.

COOLMEMIN  I absolutely love this fantastic little program. I am a Math instructor and it is incredibly easy to make graphs for lectures and exams in literally seconds, and they look great to boot! With an educational license the price is a steal too!

A FLOCK OF BUDGIES  I love this program, because I find it so incredibly useful and very simple to use. Since I am studying to become a Social Science teacher, this program has helped me with a major assignment in one of my Foundations of Teaching courses. I always pay for Shareware programs that make my life easier, and this program is going to do that for me when I get my first secondary Social Science (Economics, Geography, History) classroom.

MRFIZX  I've used this with my regular-level high school physics students with no problems for the past year or so. They can use the program without much instruction from me, which goes to show how simple the program is to use (they couldn't use Excel to save their grades, let alone lives!). I can read their data, they get their labs done more quickly and accurately, and it's all done with a minimum of effort on everyone's part. And until the graphing features of Pages/Keynote match Graph Sketcher's ease and control, this will be my graphing program of choice.
