QtiPlot Alternatives

QtiPlot

QtiPlot is a professional scientific data analysis and visualisation solution. It is meant to be a cheap alternative to proprietary and costly software such as Origin, SigmaPlot, Regressi or Igor Pro.

Precompiled binaries are available for a very low price, making this software easily accessible for students ; the source code is freely downloadable, but compilation might be a little tricky. Precompiled packages are also available in some Linux distributions for free.
