Recommendations to others considering Grapher:
I would most strongly recommend Grapher to anyone who regularly needs to produce high-quality technical graphs, plots, maps, etc. As a university professor, I totally rely on Grapher for my course notes, journal papers, reports, conference presentations etc. I have used Grapher since it was offered under DOS, since the early 90s, and then moving on to Grapher 2 and all subsequent versions. I first used it as a student and then as a university professor. In addition to extensive graphing capabilities, one can also create drawings (flowsheets, block diagrams, chemical formulae), import pictures into figures/graphs, etc. If one wanted to, Grapher can also be used to type an entire research thesis since the text editing capabilities of Grapher are highly advanced. I also often use Grapher to digitize old figures that are not available in digital format (pdf). One can scan a figure as a jpg file, and then import the jpg file into Grapher, and digitize it. I had people approach me after presentations at conferences to ask me what software I used to prepare my graphs. The software is generally very intuitive so navigating through different tabs, object properties, etc., becomes a simple process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Grapher to create plots and figures for my course notes, journal papers, conference presentations, reports, etc. I actually also use it as a drawing tool for schematics, flowsheets, block diagrams, etc. since the drawing capabilities of the program are fairly advanced. I even used Grapher to produce structural formulae of complex organic molecules. Overall, this is a perfect package that allows me to present not just data but also a range of extra information using options for text, objects, drawings, symbols, imported pictures, etc. The benefits are obvious: some of the most visually appealing technical figures that can be produced today using a single piece of software.
