1) PURPOSE
The primary purpose of XL-Plot is to create a figure for scientific
publication rapidly. It contains a few basic statistical functions,
such as Students t-test and linear correlation of two sets of data
(two columns in a spreadsheet). XL-Plot has a number of build-in
functions that can be fitted to the data in columns on a spreadsheet
or to a curve in a graph. The user can easily add fitting functions
of his own design. Additional options are (Fast) Fourier Transformation
and Matrix inversion. The latter can be useful to solve a set of linear
equations simultaneously.
XL-Plot accepts tab-delimited ASCII (*.txt files) and it outputs a
vector drawing.
The program is build around two types of window both having their own
menu and preference settings:
* Windows showing vector drawings (drawing sheets).
* Windows showing columns of numerical data (spreadsheets).
Items in the two types of window may communicate such that a
modification in a column in a spreadsheet results in a change in the
associated graph.
By using copy and paste functions from the menu, data may be copied to a
spreadsheet or to a drawing sheet resulting in a column of numbers or a
graph respectively.
2a) INSTALLATION
Double-click on "setup.exe". The installer doesn't ask too many questions.
In case of doubt, push the "OK" button.
2b) UNINSTALL
Do not simply remove the "XL-Plot" directory from your hard drive as it
will leave lots of bits and loose ends in the registry and the windows
directory.
Instead, go to the "configuration panel" and double-click on "Add/Remove
applications" (or something similar, my version of Windows95 is in french,
so I've to guess the actual english text). In the list that shows up,
select "XL-Plot" and click "Add/Remove". If during uninstalling, a dialogue
window appears requesting the removal of certain dlls, say "no to all".
3) This program is freeware. It may be freely distributed, but not modified
in any way.
