Tools

The full workflow, not just the final plot.

Autoplot is organized around the stages of scientific analysis: data in, variables, workspaces, analysis cards, specialized surfaces, figure composition, export, and reproducibility.

Data in

CSV, TSV, and text-format imports with drag and drop, multiple files in one session, parsing preview before commit, delimiter controls, header handling, skipped rows, and encoding fallbacks.

  • Import one file or a batch
  • Inspect the preview table before creating variables
  • Keep source files inside the project

Variables

Columns become named variables you can reference across plots, fits, and workspaces. Derived variables compose from existing variables, and project save/load keeps the vocabulary intact.

  • Named variables from columns
  • Derived and filtered variables
  • Batch creation for multi-file experiments

Workspaces and cards

The X&Y Plot tab is a workspace canvas, not a single chart. Each panel contains cards, a central plot surface, and results controls.

  • X&Y, Histogram, Custom Fit, PDF, AUC, CDF, Xmin, FSS, Scaling Relation / E-S scaling
  • Hide, focus, rerun, and compare cards
  • Per-workspace appearance and annotations

X&Y plots

Build core plots with linear or log axes, multiple visible cards, manual axis edits, legends, annotations, and export options.

Histogram and custom fits

Use histogram cards for distributions, then fit Gaussian, Gaussian-mixture, or arbitrary custom models by nonlinear least squares - with residuals - when the shape of the data matters more than a quick bar chart.

PDF, AUC, CDF, CCDF

Work with probability-density and cumulative views directly inside the workspace model instead of moving to a separate one-off tool.

Xmin, FSS, and E-S scaling

Run x_min selection by KS distance, finite-size-scaling collapse, and E-S scaling-relation checks from cards that stay part of the same saved project and workspace.

Heat Map

Use the dedicated Heat Map tab for 2D surfaces, heat-map workspaces, Gaussian and Gaussian-mixture fits, custom 2D fits, overlays, contours, and export.

3D Plot

Create 3D scatter and surface plots when the relationship is not honest in two dimensions.

Correlations

Generate correlation-matrix cards from selected variables and inspect one visible matrix at a time.

Charts

Build categorical chart cards such as pie, donut, and stacked bar visualizations, including summed repeated category labels.

Compose

Assemble existing plot and chart sources into paper-backed boards with panels, labels, grid snap, alignment, duplication, relinking, and exact paper export.

Assistant

Use Chat mode to think through analysis and Execute mode to run confirmed operations. The assistant can work with scripts, a working folder, and generated media while respecting the local data boundary.

Export

Export PDF, PNG, JPG, and Compose boards. When the assistant writes an operation, copy its Python and Matplotlib. Use concrete outputs instead of screenshots pretending to be figures.

Reproducibility

Project files preserve imported files, variables, cards, workspaces, heat-map workspaces, annotations, chart appearance, selected tab, and assistant script state.

Not a comparison-table launch

Autoplot is not claiming feature parity with Igor, Origin, Prism, Jupyter, Tableau, or a general chat model.

The claim is narrower and stronger: a native Mac scientific workstation for the analysis workflow around tabular data, fits, plots, specialized surfaces, local projects, and exportable outputs.
