Igor pro is quite popular among my colleagues. It's not free though, but does produce nice-looking figures. It's scriptable, and when you create a graph from GUI it leaves a trace of your actions in its history so you can copy and use it as a function template. I don't like the language myself personally, but there are several research groups completely built around it.
- Osmium 13y agoI've tried Igor Pro before. I was impressed by its curve fitting abilities, but not much by its ease of use / speed of just getting things done. But perhaps it's time to revisit it. Thanks for the rec :)
- nurbl 13y agoI did my PhD in such a group and was able to put up with Igor Pro for a couple of years, before going over to python+matplotlib. Igor does contain some nice ideas, and can certainly produce great plots, but the scripting language is so arcane and inconsistent that I just couldn't take it. At least back then there was no way around it.
