Re: CA-Cricket Graph

Kaleidagraph has a pretty well-endowed free demoware version for both
Windows and Mac. The demoware won't save and prints a banner on the
plots. Both versions can be had from http://www.synergy.com/ and a brief
tutorial can also be had from that site or from Purdue
http://www.physics.purdue.edu/phys152l/tutorial/Kal_summary.html

Igor is pretty high-power and has a less intuitive interface. I'd stick
with Graphical Analysis and consider adding KG. Your students can take
copies of both (limted copies for KG) with them to their homes etc.

I have been using both Delta-Graph and Kalida-Graph for most of my
plotting for the past year. During that time, because of ease of user
interface (I need the students to be able to find their way around), I
have moved almost entirely over to Delta-Graph. Delta-Graph makes
Sigma-Plot look almost as bad as CA-Cricket Graph v3. (Note that I am one
small rev. behind on Sigma-Plot so there may have been substantial
improvements!)

Another product you may well want to investigate is IGOR (especially if
you do a lot of signal analysis). I don't know if their proposed WIN
version is WIN95 compliant!?

Dear Colleagues;

We presently make Graphical Analysis and Cricket Graph for windows
available for our students. Unfortunately, Cricket Graph for Windows will
not run under Windows 95 and Computer Associates (The last known owners
of Cricket Graph) do not support it any longer. Has anyone run into a
similar problem, if so what is the solution.
