WHAT'S NEW
Version 6.1.11:

Bug Fixes:

  • The procedure "First" of a user-defined function was not called properly when tabulating minima or maxima.
  • Text windows (such as the Results window) can now be saved correctly as text files.
  • Fixed some memory leaks.
  • Tabulating derivatives with varying function parameters did not work correctly.
  • Deleting continuous rows in a text column is now substantially faster.
  • Masking or unmasking cells now updates permanent calculations.
  • The parameter copyInfo of DataExportOptions is now handled properly. '\r' and '\n' in string constant are now handled properly.
  • The dataWindowID parameter of the plot data command in AppleScript was not handled correctly.
  • The properties fillOpacity, fillPattern and pointOpacity of a plot object could not be set properly from a script.
  • Modified the contour plot algorithm to calculate the convex hull more realistically for numerically challenged datasets.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause the horizontal grid lines in a graph to use the wrong reference axis.
  • Fixed a bug in the PlotFunction command that could lead to erroneous error messages.
  • Applying a graph style would inadvertently remove a graph's legend.
  • Fixed a potential crash when copying/pasting a graph.
  • Command-option-dragging into a graph for zooming in now rescales z(x,y)-contour plots properly.
  • Fixed a potential issue when plotting a data set using a text column as x-axis.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

ZEBA  How does this compare to Igor Pro lately?

ANONYMOUS  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.

ANONYMOUS  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.

ANONYMOUS  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.

HAPPY CONVERT  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.

EMILIO CRUZ  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.

POLOMAN75  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!!!!
