Complete Control of Graph Features
Enter colors, patterns, symbols, line styles, tick mark intervals, tick labels and more directly into your worksheet to customize your graph the way you want. Transforms and "picking from column" allow you to create data dependent color gradients, symbols and sizes.

SigmaPlot Notebook
SigmaPlot Notebook helps you organize your work. SigmaPlot Notebook files are files which can contain SigmaPlot worksheets, Excel worksheets, SigmaPlot Report documents, Regression Wizard equations, and graph pages. The Notebook helps you organize your work by providing separate notebooks for separate groups of data or experimental sessions.
