-New and Enhanced Solutions in Grapher Beta-
Bubble fill by colormap
A brand new way to present multivariable data! Bubble plots now give more fill options allowing you to define the colors using numeric data. Take your communication to the next level by creating colormaps based on data to display as the fill for your bubble plots to demonstrate how that additional element ties in with the rest of your data. You can even fine tune the data values corresponding with the colors and opacities using the highly customizable Colormap Editor or just take Grapher’s beautiful gradients as they are.
Bar charts fill by colormap
Take your bar charts beyond simple categorical comparisons. You can now apply a colormap to bar fills based on a secondary numeric data variable, adding an entirely new dimension to your analysis. For environmental consultants and geologists, this is a game-changer for compliance and reporting. For example, you can plot total volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations across various monitoring wells and color-code the bars based on regulatory exceedance thresholds or risk levels. Instantly communicate severity alongside magnitude, making your site assessment reports and stakeholder presentations clearer, faster, and more impactful.
Snap shapes while drawing
Drawing polylines and polygons has been enhanced to allow you to snap a vertex while drawing not only to other objects, but also to axes or plot points! This opens up a broad range of creative and customizable elements that are not only easy to create, but super precise and aligned on your graph for those final touches.
If you are highlighting a specific contamination plume on a scatter plot, delineating stratigraphic layers, or drawing a precise groundwater table boundary across a cross-section, you can now snap your polyline directly to the relevant well data points or axis markers. No more zooming in and guessing—get perfectly aligned, presentation-ready annotations in a fraction of the time.
