Software for Scientific Graphing in Excel and VBA

The first Excel-driven plotting tool developed specifically for engineers and other technical professionals who demand superior graphical output!!

It is designed by practicing engineers to meet the advanced plotting requirements of technical professionals using Excel/VBA. Distributed as a single-file toolbox, XLProPlot™ is centered on two core capabilities. The first is the rapid creation and manipulation of technical plots using Excel’s built-in charting capabilities.

The second core capability of XLProPlot™ is designed to support those requiring advanced plotting capabilities directly from Excel’s VBA programming interface.
Features: XLProPlot is:
  • Create Excel plots with one click
  • Automate advanced plot capabilities
  • Create plots directly from VBA
  • Affordable
  • Scalable
  • Effective
  • Innovative
  • User Friendly
  • Fast

XLProPlot is a scientific graphing toolbox for scientists and engineers who like to use the powerful analysis capability of Excel and VBA and not have to change packages to get enhanced and automated graphing. XLProPlot includes a suite of "QwikTools" that provide one-click creation and formatting of XY scatter plots, the most suitable plot style for technical data presentation in Excel. By using an organized set of popup menus in lieu of icon-based toolbars, XLProPlot does not require users to learn a new application, but instead is immediately useable by even beginner spreadsheet users. Using the "QwikTools", technical looking plots are easily created with a single button click instead of traversing through multiple dialog windows. Also, formatting plots using XLProPlot’s "singleclick" methodology allows changes to be instantly realized by the user instead of having to spend time opening and closing multi-tabbed dialog windows. This allows users to spend more time formatting their plots to their requirements and less time navigating a complex application. As a part of the "QwikTools" array, XLProPlot also provides easy one-click access to many advanced plotting features such as multiple X and Y axes, custom axis label numeric formats, custom data labels, exporting plots as pictures, and much more.

For more advanced applications, XLProPlot provides access to professional technical plotting capabilities directly from VBA. For some VBA-driven analysis applications, it is inconvenient to have to move data from VBA to an Excel worksheet range before a plot may be created. SpreadsheetWorld has developed an intuitive, easy-to-use object model to drive a 3rd party technical plotting application that is bundled with XLProPlot. This object model makes full use of context-sensitive drop-down lists, allowing users to quickly and easily produce quality results. Although simple plots may be created with only a few lines of VBA code, extensive plot formatting capabilities are exposed through various properties and methods in the object model. The structure of XLProPlot’s object model is especially ideal for use in iterative analyses. It includes commands to save plots to picture files, send plots directly to a printer, or simply leave them open in the external plotting application for subsequent modification.

Quickly create professional plots with a single button click
Rapidly modify plot formatting for an entire chart, a single data series, or even a single data point using convenient popup menus & toolbars
Easily rescale plots to zoom in on areas of interest or force axes to represent proportional physical dimensions
Quickly take static "snapshots" of existing plots to aid in tradeoff studies or iterative analyses
Easily plot data on multiple axes – even when large magnitude differences exist between data series
Rapidly modify axes number format and layout
Conveniently add custom labels to emphasize key data points
Create, format, save, and print professional-quality plots directly from VBA using an intuitive and easy-to-use object model – No worksheet data required!!
Easily incorporate plotting capabilities into iterative design and analysis loops
Plot large data sets with ease
Create plot types not available in Excel such as true polar plots as well as surface & contour plots with randomly spaced data
