New Chart and/or Graph Types

Share icon

I hate to use Excel for making charts, but there is one type of chart which is just a couple of clicks in Excel that I can't figure out in Igor Pro. (I'm using version 6.12 on Mac with Snow Leopard. I would be open to purchasing an upgrade of Igor Pro or an expansion package if it had the functionality I'm looking for.) I've attached an image because this is one case when a picture is worth 1000 words!

I have seen in these forums an example of making a chart somewhat like this with the 3D Gizmo window, and I have played around with the sample experiment provided with that forum topic, but it is not straightforward to manipulate and I can't get it to do everything I want in terms of category labeling, etc.

If this is possible to do with an upgrade purchase or user-generated content, please let me know. If not, please definitely add it to a future release! There are definitely a number of people in my lab who would regularly use such a feature.
Hello raganb,

I attached an example of what we call 3D bar chart that I generated with the latest version of IP 6.x. I am afraid I did not count the number of clicks required to generate it but it is certainly greater than 2. The graph was generated using Gizmo, which is plugin that ships with IGOR.

You can send an email request to support@wavemetrics.com if you would like to receive a copy of the experiment with the associated procedures.
