13 SciGraphica is too complex to cover completely in these manual pages.
14 If your system is properly configured, you can access the full documen‐
15 tation within SciGraphica under the Help menu.
16 SciGraphica is a scientific application for data analysis and technical
18 graphics. It pretends to be a clone of the commercial (and for MS-Win‐
19 dows only) application "Microcal Origin". The aim is to obtain a fully-
20 featured, cross-platform, user-friendly, self-growing scientific appli‐
21 cation. It fully supplies plotting features for 2D, 3D and polar
22 charts. It is free and open-source, released under the GPL license.
23 SciGraphica uses the Gtk+ Library as a toolkit (with optional Gnome
25 support). SciGraphica should run on any platform, where Gtk+ runs. This
26 is on all major Unix and Unix-type platforms, such as HP-UX, IRIX,
27 GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.
