Despite its unusual title this is a serious program to help you to draw graphs. They can also be plotted on your printer if it is an Epson-compatible type.

The range of charts is impressive. You can have over nine sets of data in memory at one time and by setting windows, from within the program, you can have a number of these on screen at any one time. Scaling of axes is automatic and data entry and editing is very simple indeed.

The basic options are bar charts, line graphs and pie charts but these can even be combined on the same graph if you require. The command page has a whole galaxy of options giving you almost complete control over the final result.

The manual is well-written and fairly chatty but a little short in some of the details. One minor niggle is that the program hangs up if you try printing the page without a printer attached. Overall this is a good, simple to use yet powerful package at a reasonable price.
