Software

In connection with purchase of the DCMS software tool and a desire to better understand the use, capabilities, assumptions, and technical limitations of the software, ARA has created a 1 hour web-based training session to better understand how to use the tool. The web based training must be viewed with a web browser and will expire after 7 days.

DPlot is a leading graphing and data visualization software tool for scientists, engineers, researchers, or anyone else who is interested in plotting complex data.

Some key features of DPlot include, but are not limited to:

• The ability to display and manipulate one-, two-, three-, and four- dimensional data from a variety of sources in many different formats.
• DPLOT's straightforward interface will appeal to anybody interested in creating X-Y plots and/or contour plots of 3D data.
• Generate curves from equations with support for conditional formulas or from one or more existing curves
• Support for a background image for your 2D plots.
• Bar charts
• Box-and-whisker plots and dot graphs for one or more groups of 1D data
• Multiple independent or dependent scales.
• Bubble plots
• Vector plots
• Fill between 2 curves, fill the area formed by closing a curve, or fill from a curve to a specified Y value. Choose from seven pre-defined fill patterns or create a custom pattern.
• 3D scatter plots, with up to 100 data sets and colors based on Z value or data set.
• And more
