Sci DAVis - Mission Statement

Mission Statement

SciDAVis is a free interactive application aimed at data analysis and publication-quality plotting. It combines a shallow learning curve and an intuitive, easy-to-use graphical user interface with powerful features such as scriptability and extensibility. SciDAVis runs on GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X; possibly also on other platforms like some BSD variants, although this is untested.

SciDAVis is similar in its field of application to proprietary Windows applications like Origin and SigmaPlot as well as free applications like QtiPlot, LabPlot and Gnuplot.

What sets SciDAVis apart from the above is its emphasis on providing a friendly and open environment (in the software as well as the project) for new and experienced users alike. Particularly, this means that we will try to provide good documentation on all levels, ranging from user's manual over tutorials down to and including documentation of the internal APIs. We encourage users to share their experiences on our forums and on our mailing lists. —SciDAVis about page
