SigmaPlot NEW FEATURES
 "We live or die by our publication record, and Sigmaplot is by far the best program I have found to prepare extremely high-quality, customized, figures & graphs."

Announcing the all new SigmaPlot 11, the premier graphing application now has powerful advisory statistical analysis features with over 50 key statistical
methods and over 100 graph types. Now used by more than 250,000 scientists, researchers and engineers across a wide spectrum of disciplines for data and
statistical analysis, SigmaPlot lets users to present their data using exact, publication-quality graphs and reports.
SigmaPlot Version 11 now offers a full range of easy-to-use statistical functions in addition to graphing templates and utilities with improved features
for accurate and fast data analysis for non-statisticians. Unlike other analysis and graphing packages, spreadsheets or other business graphing products,
SigmaPlot 11 offers complete advisory statistical analysis features along with a full range of graphing templates and utilities for unmatched data accuracy,
speed, data analysis and presentation. SigmaPlot is well known for its flexibility to customize any object on a graph to meet the exacting requirements of the scientific community.
SigmaPlot 11 has Eleven Exciting New Features!
2D Vector Plots
2D Vector Plots are a new feature in SigmaPlot11. A 2D Vector plot is a display of a field of vectors in x,y coordinates where both direction and
magnitude are represented. A popup dialog box can allow the user to specify arrow properties such as color, line thickness, and arrowhead length and angle
. This feature can be used by, but not limited to physicists, climate researchers or in other fields where spatial data can include both direction and magnitude information.
Global Curve Fitting
It allows users to easily setup a global curve fit. It gives users the ability to easily share one or more equation parameters across multiple data sets.
Advisory Statistical Analysis within SigmaPlot11
Now users have an all-inclusive statistical analysis and technical graphing product that increases the number of usable scientific and engineering
applications.
Pre-Formatted Worksheets
The user can start by selecting the type a graph that they wish to create and a worksheet will be automatically created with the data format required for that
graph. Data entered into the worksheet is immediately displayed on the graph. This feature demonstrates to the user the strong relationship between the data format and the graph type.
Automatic Updating of Quick Transforms
Each worksheet can hold a list of user defined transforms that will automatically be re-run whenever the transform input data has changed.
Improved 3D Graph Customization
In SigmaPlot10, almost all objects in a 2D graph were selectable with a mouse click. Almost all objects in a 3D graph were not. SigmaPlot11 now adds
mouse selectability to all 3D graph objects.
Updated User Interface
SigmaPlot11 now enjoys an updated look and feel across the entire application. Users can also add or prune out toolbar features or functions the
user decides he's going to use thereby streamlining his customized workspace.
Support for EMF Files
Enhanced Metafile Format (EMF) files are a new and improved 32-bit revision of the WMF format. EMF files have extended functionality over WMF files.
SP11 now includes support for importing and exporting EMF files.
100% Vista Compliant
SP11 is fully Vista compliant and including support for SigmaPlot help files.
Import Excel 2007 Files Directly into SP11
SigmaPlot11 adds compatibility for Microsoft Office 2007. Previous versions would not import Excel 2007 files without an intermediate conversion step to a
prior file version.
Standard Curves Macro Improvement
In addition to the EC50 value already computed, the user can also compute other user-entered values like EC40 and EC60 values instantly. Two five
-parameter logistic functions have been added and the Dynamic Curve Fitting feature included to help solve difficult curve fitting problems.
The New Data Analysis Features
 Advanced Advisory Statistics within SigmaPlot11
SigmaPlot 11 is now a complete graphing and advisory statistics suite. SigmaPlot 11 can guide users through every step of advanced statistical analysis without the user having to be a statistical expert.
With SigmaPlot 11, you can compare effects among groups including before-and-after or repeated measures studies. You can also:
- Conduct survival analysis
- Analyze rates and proportions
- Perform regression and correlation analyses
- Calculate power and sample size
One does not need to know which statistical test is right for your data. Simply open the Advisory Statistics Wizard, answer a few questions about your data and your project and SigmaPlot will
suggest the appropriate test and also check your data for underlying assumptions.
Global Curve Fitting
Past versions of SigmaPlot could perform global curve fits but the procedure was too involved and complicated. SigmaPlot 11 now employs an all new user
interface allowing users to easily setup a global curve fit. SigmaPlot 11 also gives users the ability to easily share one or more equation parameters across multiple data sets.
Standard Curves Macro is Improved
In addition to the EC50 value already computed, the user can also compute other user-entered EC values such as EC40 and EC60 and compute them instantly. Two five-parameter logistic functions have been added and the
Dynamic Curve Fitting feature included to help solve difficult curve fitting problems.

New Updated User Interface
SigmaPlot11 now enjoys an updated look and feel across the entire application. Users can also add or prune toolbar features or functions the user
decides he's going to use thereby streamlining his customized workspace.
Pre-Formatted Worksheets
For greater user flexibility. Lets say you like to start by using a particular kind of graph but you don't know how to set up the worksheet to achieve it.
SigmaPlot 11 allows the user to select a graph first and then gives the user a pre-formatted worksheet to structure their data. The data entered into the
worksheet is immediately displayed on the graph. This feature demonstrates to the user the strong relationship between the data format and the graph type.
The New Windows Integration Features
100% Vista Compliant
Earlier versions of SigmaPlot ran well on Vista except the "Help" menu function which was changed in Vista. SigmaPlot 11 is fully Vista compliant and including support for SigmaPlot help files.
Import Excel 2007 Files Directly
SigmaPlot 11 adds compatibility for Microsoft Office 2007. Previous versions would not import Excel 2007 files without a conversion step to a prior file version.
The New Automation Feature
Automatic Updating of Quick Transforms
Each worksheet can hold a list of user defined transforms that will automatically be re-run whenever the transform input data has changed.
The New Import/Export Feature
 Support for EMF Files
Enhanced Metafile Format (EMF) files are a new and improved 32-bit revision of the WMF format. EMF files have extended functionality over WMF files. SigmaPlot 11 now includes support for
importing and exporting EMF files.
