SigmaPlot 11 now has Complete Advisory Statistical Analysis Features
SigmaPlot is now a complete graphing AND advisory statistics suite. Advanced statistical analysis can now be accomplished without the additional purchase of SigmaStat. SigmaPlot 11 guides users through every step of the analysis and performs powerful statistical analysis without the user being a statistical expert!
Global Curve Fitting
Past versions of SigmaPlot could perform global curve fits but the procedure was too involved and complicated. SigmaPlot 11 now employs an all new user interface allowing users to easily setup a global curve fit. SigmaPlot 11 also gives users the ability to easily share one or more equation parameters across multiple data sets.
Standard Curves Macro is Improved
In addition to the EC50 value already computed, the user can also compute other user-entered EC values such as EC40 and EC60 and compute them instantly. Two five-parameter logistic functions have also been added and the Dynamic Curve Fitting feature included to help solve difficult curve fitting problems.

New 2D Vector Plots
A 2D Vector plot is a display of a field of vectors in x,y coordinates where both direction and magnitude are represented. SigmaPlot 11 employs a popup dialog box that allows the user to specify arrow properties such as color, line thickness, and arrowhead length and angle. 2D Vector Plots can be used by, but not limited to physicists, climate researchers, and other fields where spatial data includes both direction and magnitude information.

Improved 3D Graph Customization
In earlier versions of SigmaPlot, almost all objects in a 2D graph were selectable with a mouse click. However, almost all objects in a 3D graph were not. SigmaPlot11 now adds mouse selectability of all 3D graph objects with the ability to customize all 3D objects.
Pre-Formatted Worksheets
Lets
say you'd like to start by selecting a particular
kind of graph but you don’t know how to set up
the worksheet to achieve it. SigmaPlot 11 lets
the user select a graph first and then gives
the user a pre-formatted worksheet to structure
their data. The data entered into the worksheet
is immediately displayed on the graph. This feature
can demonstrate to the user the strong relationship
between the data format and the graph type.

New Updated User Interface
SigmaPlot11 now enjoys an updated look and feel across the entire application. Users can also add or prune toolbar features or functions the user decides he's going to use thereby streamlining his customized workspace.
100% Vista Compliant
Earlier version of SigmaPlot ran well on Vista except the “Help” menu function which was changed in Vista. SigmaPlot 11 is fully Vista compliant now including support for the SigmaPlot help files.
Import Excel 2007 Files Directly into SigmaPlot 11
SigmaPlot 11 adds compatibility for Microsoft Office 2007. Previous versions would not import Excel 2007 files without a conversion step from .xlsx to .xls.
Automatic Updating of Quick Transforms
Each worksheet can hold a list of user defined transforms that will automatically be re-run whenever the transform input data has changed.
Support for EMF Files
Enhanced Metafile Format (EMF) files are a new and improved 32-bit revision of the WMF format. EMF files have extended functionality over WMF files. SigmaPlot 11 now includes support for importing and exporting 32-bit EMF files.
