Physics Plot is a software package designed for plotting scientific data. The software was developed by Dr. Charles D. Spencer (retired professor of Physics at Ithaca College ) and his students. The software is marketed by Physics Academic Software. The program offers autoscaling, least square fitting, data manipulation, and function plotting.http://www.webassign.net/pas/physics_plot/physics_plot.html


HISTORY

Development of Physics Plot began in the early 1980’s. It was originally written using a combination of FORTRAN and machine code and ran on Technical Education Centers graphics hardware for S-100 Bus computers ( IMSAI 8080 ). The software was eventually re-written using QuickBASIC so that it could run on 80286 PCs. Development then migrated to VisualBASIC to allow for a graphical user interface.http://www.ithaca.edu/faculty/spencer/physics%20plot%20history.html
