Work Smarter with Sigmaplot 12
SigmaPlot is an easy-to-use technical graphing and data analysis
software package for scientists and engineers who need to produce
defensible research and create exact, publication-quality graphs
for technical publications, presentations or the web. Work
smarter, not harder, with the award-winning interface and
intuitive wizard technology that revolutionizes what researchers
can accomplish on their own with SigmaPlot 12.
SigmaPlot software helps you quickly create exact graphs
SigmaPlot graphing software from SYSTAT takes you beyond simple
spreadsheets to help you show off your work clearly and precisely.
With SigmaPlot, you can produce high-quality graphs without
spending hours in front of a computer. SigmaPlot offers seamless
Microsoft Office integration, so you can easily access data from
Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and present your results in Microsoft
PowerPoint® presentations.
Graphing software that makes data visualization easy
Graph creation starts with SigmaPlot's award-winning interface.
Take advantage of industry-standard menu design, menu toolbars,
right mouse button support and graph preferences. Select the graph
type you want to create from the Graph Toolbar's easy-to-read
icons. The interactive Graph Wizard leads you through every step
of graph creation. You get compelling, publication-quality charts
and graphs in no time. SigmaPlot offers more options for charting,
modeling and graphing your technical data than any other graphics
software package.
Compare and contrast trends in your data by creating multiple axes
per graph, multiple graphs per page and multiple pages per
worksheet. Accurately arrange multiple graphs on a page using
built-in templates or your own page layouts with SigmaPlot's
WYSIWYG page layout and zoom features.
Customize every detail of your charts and graphs
SigmaPlot offers the flexibility to customize every detail of
your graph. You can add axis breaks, standard or asymmetric error
bars and symbols; change colors, fonts, line thickness and more.
Double-click on any graph element to launch the Graph Properties
dialog box. Modify your graph, chart or diagram further by pasting
an equation, symbol, map, picture, illustration or other image
into your presentation.
Publish your charts and graphs anywhere
Create stunning slides, display your graphs in reports or further
customize your graphs in drawing packages. Save graphs for
publication in a technical journal, article or paper with
SigmaPlot's wide range of graphic export options. Presenting and
publishing your results has never been easier - or looked this
good. Create customized reports with SigmaPlot's Report Editor or
embed your graphs in any OLE container - word processors,
Microsoft PowerPoint or graphics program. Just double click your
graph to edit directly inside your document. Quickly send your
high-resolution graphs online to share with others.
Share high-quality graphs and data on the Web
Export your graphs as high-resolution, dynamic Web pages - not
simple GIF or JPEG files. Viewers can explore data used to create
graphs and zoom, pan or print images at full resolution directly
from a Web Browser. Automatically generate active Web objects from
your graphs or embed the objects within other Web pages.

21 CFR Part 11 is the United States Food and Drug Administration's (FDA)
requirement for electronic record keeping. These are the rules under which
an electronic document can be considered equivalent to a paper document.
In part, this includes software validation, password protection of data
and macros, time-stamped audit trail capability, and various password and
security measures.
SigmaPlot already satisfies the requirement for in-house validation using
manual testing. Also the macro language provides the mechanism for
repeatable "hands-off" analysis of instrumentation data.
SigmaPlot from Version 9.0 and above have the capability of importing
data and running SQL queries from various ODBC-compliant databases. The
new version also offers the ability to password protect notebooks for
submittal to the FDA or other Government agencies that require adherence
to security guidelines
