NAME

SciGraphica - A scientific application for data analysis and technical graphics

SYNOPSIS

scigraphica [options] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

SciGraphica is too complex to cover completely in these manual pages. If your system is properly configured, you can access the full documentation within SciGraphica under the Help menu.

SciGraphica is a scientific application for data analysis and technical graphics. It pretends to be a clone of the commercial (and for MS-Windows only) application "Microcal Origin". The aim is to obtain a fully-featured, cross-platform, user-friendly, self-growing scientific application. It fully supplies plotting features for 2D, 3D and polar charts. It is free and open-source, released under the GPL license.
  SciGraphica uses the Gtk+ Library as a toolkit (with optional Gnome support). SciGraphica should run on any platform, where Gtk+ runs. This is on all major Unix and Unix-type platforms, such as HP-UX, IRIX, GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.

SciGraphica supports the following command-line options:
-w[=nameor --worksheet[=name]

-p[=nameor --plot[=name]

-v or --version

SciGraphica supports also the following generic command-line options from the Gtk+ Library:
