Last update 9/25/2020
Software designed for ease of useDataGraph
Compatibility: Cocoa-based. Older versions compatible with 10.4; current 10.9-10.15. Catalina / dark mode compatible. On Mac App Store, too.
Version: 4.51 (4.6 announced for late September/early October) Price: $90 perpetual; $50/year; $30/year academic; free trial with some features disabled; volume discounts automatically applied Listing updated 9/25/2020. Software updated 2/17/2020. Published by: VisualDataTools.com
Developer David Adalsteinsson wrote this $40 program in Cocoa, so it is native to OS X. It grew out of DataTank and shares underlying graphics code, but is limited to two-dimensional graphing; the design is “simple and powerful,” with an emphasis on publication-quality output. Amazingly, DataGraph reads in CricketGraph files, creates animations, and can be called from Automator or the command line. Version 4 is increasingly able to work with R, and can handle over 200,000 points. It still works with OS 10.9 despite being Catalina-friendly, and has an active news page on the company site.
Thunderplot
Version: 1.15
Listing updated 8/2019. Software updated 2018. 64-bit. Signed. Published by: Thunderplot
Thunderplot, a native Mac program, was created for quick data visualization; a native Mac program. Its programmer, Vadim Kalinsky, wrote: “It parses contaminated data (like ‘64 bytes from 8.8.8.8’), supports numeric and time axis, expressions, multiple datasets, multiple curves, works quickly with large datasets, has simple and responsive interface, and exports to jpeg/png/etc. It is available in the Apple Store (not currently in the US), and a non-sandboxed (but signed) version is available.”
Our initial impressions are that it is very easy to use, and the snapshot feature should prove very handy to web publishers. The program takes up just 4 MB of space and around 25 MB of RAM, other than data. Despite our poor snapshot, it is capable of sophisticated graphics and has numerous controls.
Kaleidagraph
Configurations: 68000 (older versions); PowerPC (older versions); Intel; Mac OS 10.4 - 10.13.x
Current Version: 4.5.4 Price: $200 (academic $140); crossgrades $100; upgrades $60 Listing updated: 11/12/2018 Software last updated: March 2018
Kaleidagraph is a (dual-platform) data analysis and graphing application published by Synergy Software. A demo is available. Kaleidagaph's promotional materials promise essentially everything offered by DeltaGraph and then some. The Universal Binary update did not appear until August 2009, but it came with Intel-Mac optimization at long last, along with the use of QuickTime for export, which provides extra features.
Users have written in to say that Kaleidagraph can easily tabulate, normalize, and combine data sets, make numerical calculations of theoretical expressions for comparisons with the measured data points, make publication-quality graphs with little effort.
James P. Conner pointed out, 'KaleidaGraph can handle 1,000 columns and one million rows, while Delta Graph is (last time I looked) limited to 256 columns and 32K rows. Also, K-Graph's statistical functions have been expanded significantly in the last two releases, and are much more useful than D-Graph's.'
The program has been kept updated, despite a web site with a 2013 copyright date; when we checked in November 2018, the last update had been in March. However, it’s hard to take the company seriously if it does not have signed software, or any mention of the current operating system after it’s been out for over a month (even if it’s just saying “don’t upgrade yet.”)
Lively Logic
Configurations: OS X Mavericks, El Capitan, and Sierra
Price: $20 (Mac App Store) Version: 1.5.4 Listing updated: 11/2018 (software updated 2018)
From Ripeware, Lively Logic imports data from CSV files to create line graphs, scatter plots, bar graphs, bubble graphs, candlestick charts, pie charts, and tables. It has 75 functions, automatic updating of when data changes, and customization of graph elements. Available in the Mac App Store, it gained axis auto-scaling, better graph panning/scaling by dragging axes, best-fit curves, and support for Retina displays with version 1.1.
MagicPlot
Configurations: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux; 2 MB and does not require installation (Java program)
Student version: Free but limited. Pro: $198, trial available; includes custom fit equations, data and batch processing, vector export, and more. Version: 2.8 Listing updated: 11/12/2018. Software updated: sometime after Jan. 2017 Appears to be under active development.
MagicPlot is used for scientific and engineering data analysis, graphing, nonlinear curve fitting, and multi-peak fitting. The Pro version program has publication quality customizable plots with multiple axes, text table import with previews, data manipulation, FFT, integration, differentiation, histograms, and other statistics, with multiple undos (some of these features are on the free student version as well).
The software is relatively easy to use and nicely featured, but as a Java program, does not use standard Mac open/close dialogue boxes, so finding files may be hard depending on your file structure. The system is simple enough — fill a table with data, add formulas if desired, choose the type of table you want, and select a large number of options from the dialogue boxes which appear next. It takes a short time to get acquainted but is far easier to learn than many graphing programs; basic statistics are provided. The program can guess the most appropriate fit line, but lets users choose a method if desired.
pro Fit
Configurations: OS X 10.8 or later
Current Version: 7.0.15 Price: $95; upgrade, $55 Software updated: 10/15/2019. Report updated: 3/11/2020
pro Fit is a data analysis and plotting software package from QuantumSoft. Dave [not me] wrote: '..it has an extensive Applescript dictionary, ability to handle large data sets well (I've done graphs with hundreds of thousands of points), can be extended by writing plug ins or adding formulas that you create, does great curve fitting. I consider it much more feature complete than Kaliedagraph and far more intuitive than Igor Pro. They have excellent customer support, usually getting back to you within 24 hours if you have a bug report or feature request.' We have observed that ProFit is frequently updated which indicates it is well supported (2010).
“pro Fit is a Macintosh (Mac OS) application for data/function analysis, plotting, and curve fitting. It is used by scientists and engineers to analyze their measurements and the mathematical models they use to describe them. Scientists or students can define any mathematical function and use it to model their data, finding by linear or nonlinear curve fitting the function parameters that best describe their observations. Moreover, they can use a number of tools for the mathematical and statistical analysis of functions and data sets, and they can produce aesthetically pleasing graphical representations for their scientific reports.”
Version 6.1 changes: now Universal Binary; new tool for multidimensional curve fitting; revamped rendering engine for plots with native Core Graphics, PDF, and PostScript support; additions to the scripting language; more. Version 6.2: Python support, extended fitting, more data processing, higher performance.
Powerful omnibus software that takes some getting used to![]() Graphviz
Configurations: PPC, Universal; current versions from Leopard to Mountain Lion
Current Version: 2.62 Software last updated: 2019 Listing updated: March 2020
Graphviz is an open source drawing package. Prepare for a steep learning curve but it may be worth it if you have graphs you do frequently; not what I'd suggest for the occasional one-off though, especially since it is really designed for Linux and must be installed via MacPorts or Homebrew.
Veusz (“Views”)
Python program for OS X, Linux, UNIX, and Windows
Latest version: 3.2 (listing updated 3/11/2020)
A surprisingly capable free program, Veusz creates publication quality output in PDF or SVG formats. Data can be read from text, CSV, or FITS files, and can be manipulated within the program. There is an object-based interface along with command line and Python-based scripting; it can be used as a Python pltting module. Charts include X-Y (with error bars and such), line and function, contour, image, stepped/histogram, bar, vector field, box, polar, and many others, with broken and multiple axes. There is an API for plugins, the ability to capture external data, and command-line scripting; plotting can also be accessed via DBUS and SAMP.
Nice but priceyDataDesk / Data Desk DP / Data Desk DDRP
Configurations: started as 680x0; currently Universal; OSX 10.7 or higher
Current Version: 8.21 (OS X), 6.1 (OS 7-9) Price: $495 normal (DataDesk Pro), academic $295 (Academic Data Desk), $30 student—full versions, no annual fees. Listing updated: 2/23/2020 • last software update, 2020 Published by DataDescription
An exploratory data analysis package, DataDesk was originally developed by Cornell professor Paul Velleman, once a student of Bell Labs’ famed John Tukey. (800) 573-5121.
The Mac version is at parity with the Windows version. The strength and weakness of DataDesk is its visual environment:
While it implements many traditional statistics techniques suitable for data from planned experiments and sample surveys, Data Desk’s true strength is its powerful tools for data exploration. .. speed and linked views make Data Desk unsurpassable for exploring any set of data. .. Select points in one plot or table and see those points highlight instantly in all other plots. Modify a data value or parameter and see all relevant plots and table update immediately..
Dick Furnas wrote:
DataDesk is superb for exploratory data analysis. A student version is bundled with several textbooks Velleman has been involved in. DataDesk was originally developed for the Mac and makes splendid use of drag and drop, clickable, live interfaces and everything a Mac user might wish for (you can lasso points in a graph and the data values from the underlying data tables will be highlighted, and vice/versa).
Data Desk DDRP was recently added as an upgrade from Data Desk 8, for $39 (for a single license) with upgrades from versions 6 and 7 as well (for $149 and $99, respectively). It includes a data and story library, writes out R or Python commands so any table can be reproduced, and imports from Excel (including relations).

DataTank is designed for scientific visualization, data mining, and algorithm development, but it is flexible enough to be used for a variety of other uses as well. Like other scientific visualization programs DataTank uses OpenGL to draw 3D graphics, and supports transparency, interactive rotation, multiple light sources and camera positions. DataTank uses the strength of Quartz to generate publication quality vector-graphics as PDF/EPS or anti-aliased bitmaps for use in web pages and presentations. .. DataTank enables interactive exploration of large data sets. .. DataTank will perform incremental evaluation, treating data sets with millions of data points and hundreds of thousands of entries the same way as a simple data set that is typed in manually.
Dennis Kahlbaum wrote: “Excellent support. Program is extremely flexible and can be used for graphics, statistics, visualizations, etc; Can produce animations of contours (lines and shading) generated from variably spaced data. Can use ESRI shapfiles.” We add that it is scriptable.
