What is iPlots?

It is a package which provide bar plots, mosaic plots, box plots, parallel plots, scatter plots and histograms.

IPLOT is a (relatively) simple X,Y interactive plotting routine. It uses the PGPLOT plotting package, and thus allows the user to choose the output device for the plots; GraphOn terminal, X-window terminal, Post Script file, etc.

  • graphically trim the input data,
  • display information on individual data points,
  • operate on the input data to create new data,
  • generate functions y=f(x) using a built-in function parser,
  • perform least squares fits of polynomials to the data,
  • output modified data sets,
  • internally store a number of plotting data sets for retrieval,
  • add text to the plots
  • save the plot as an external *.iplot file
