About MagicPlot

MagicPlot is a desktop program for scientific plotting, nonlinear curve fitting and data analysis. You enter an equation, choose the data range visually and run a fit. Its fitting was verified against NIST reference datasets. Multipeak fitting lets you build a model peak by peak and drag peaks and the baseline with the mouse.

The Processing menu covers smoothing, FFT, integration, differentiation, histograms, convolution and correlation. Batch processing fits many datasets the same way without scripting, and style templates format all figures consistently. Plots export to EPS, PDF, SVG and EMF.

Strengths

Fitting verified against NIST reference datasets
Interactive multipeak fitting with draggable peaks and baseline
Batch fitting of many datasets without scripting
Vector export to EPS, PDF, SVG and EMF

Limitations

Paid license needed for full functionality after the trial
No scripting described for advanced automation
