LabPlot is an open source data analysis and visualisation program, written for KDE. It is similar to Origin and is able to import Origin's data files.
Licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
History
According to the primary developer, a freelance programmer named Stefan Gerlach, Labplot was developed at his home on a Linux system using the Kdevelop IDE for the KDE desktop .
Features
It uses the Qt widget set for its graphical interface. It is integrated with the KDE desktop and has drag and drop support with KDE's applications. The handbook is written in KDE and conforms to the Khelpcenter standards. It is scriptable using Qt Script for Applications (QSA). 2D and 3D plots of data can be rendered in a "worksheet", either by directly reading datafiles or from a spreadsheet, which LabPlot supports. It has interfaces to several libraries, including GSL for data analysis, the Qwt3d libraries for 3D plotting using OpenGL, FFTW for fast fourier transforms and supports exporting to 80 image formats and raw postscript. Other key features include support for LaTeX and Rich Text labels, data masking, multiple plots in the same worksheet, pie charts, bar charts/histograms, interpolation, data smoothing, peak fitting, nonlinear curve fitting, regression, deconvolution, integral transforms, and others (see developers website listed below for details) .The graphs are publication-quality. Interface translated in various languages .
