WINPLOT

WINPLOT is a FREE graphing program that runs in Windows. Download the program here. A MAC version is available here. Or Google "Winplot" or "Winplot for MACs" After you download you must install the file. The file is installed in a file on your c drive called c:\\peanut. (This is not in the program file.) Make a shortcut from your desktop.

The program is tweaked often, so I suggest you download the latest version monthly. It will install quickly and you will not need to change your shortcuts.

Below are four files that will explain some of the basics of Winplot. Addition instructional material can be found by Goggling "Winplot."
