OnePlot is a simple but yet powerful windows plotting software that can help you to take care of simple plotting tasks in an easy and straight-forward fashion. The software can read excel files that are organized into different columns and then use the header information from each column to populate data and different filters for plotting purposes.
"OnePlot UI" and How to Use It
First, you need to organize your excel file and data in a way that enables OnePlot to read them properly and set each data column header. I have provided an example of how to prepare your data files in excel. A few tries will give you a good idea of what would be the best data set format to plot using the OnePlot software.Next, and after your excel file (and data) are loaded into the software, you should choose your plot type, and also select your data series for X and Y axes. The simple UI elements in the OnePlot software make this easy and fast. Rememeber, each plot type might not work with each data set. For example, bar chart (columns), are usually good when you have categorical X-axis, or in order to plot your data as line or curve charts, you need to have sufficient data points per data label.After you have plotted your data, OnePlot gives you a powerful but an easy way to filter your data and organize them in different groups. There are two filter options, through which you can also set color, line style, or symbol style for your data series that fall into the same filtering group. OnePlot uses a specific logic for handling filtering and setting graph element styles based on them. When you choose filters, the filter that has more selected items will determine the style of the graph, if you select equal number of filter items from both filters, the software gives you the choice to control what each filter should control. It's easy and fun, right? Finally, OnePlot gives you several other styling options. You can choose your font style, font sizes, your data ranges, as well as line thickness or symbol size! And after you are done setting the style you want, you can determine the dimensions of the image file and its dpi to save your graph as a JPG or a PNG file. All of this can happen only with a few clicks. Enjoy! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the OnePlot software. I developed this as a side project in my freetime and you are free to use its V1.1, but please reference it and acknowledge use of it, if you are using it for plotting data in your presentation or data preparation. Thanks!
