AfterMath: Scientific Plotting

This section of the manual deals with the powerful scientific plotting features of the AfterMath software. You can use AfterMath to create very simple plots containing just one trace (like the one on the left, below) or extremely complex plots containing multiple traces, axes, and measurement tools (like the one on the right, below). AfterMath gives you flexible control of line widths, plot symbols, colors, tick marks, gridlines, and text.

Users are encouraged to take the time to carefully read this section of the manual to become familiar with all of the plotting features offered by AfterMath.
