simple drawing program? [SOLVED]

djnm · 2009-03-24 16:40:46

I am currently in an Economics course and I need a simple drawing program to draw X/Y graphs and diagrams. I don't have the mathematical values for the points and slopes etc., so gnuplot is not an option.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

There are qtiplot, labplot, and scigraphica (which is rather out of date). There probably are lots more, these're just the ones I used and found to be useful (mostly, that is - I'm using qtiplot as of now, but I'm considering to switch to gnuplot+R+LaTeX for reports+papers+stuff.)

If you don't have the data points, its seems like you will have to draw the graphs manually. If you had the patience to draw everything manually, you could try something like inkscape or gimp. Maybe you could make up some data points that look similar to whatever you need to do and use gnuplot anyway. It would be much easier than drawing it yourself.

If you're going to draw it manually, then mtpaint is the simplest way to do it, although some of the features are a bit tucked away.

Thanks guys, but I found xfig! It works perfectly.

Or do it on paper and scan it to a .jpg

Paper? X-Fig? GIMP? You people are wimps! Etch-A-Sketch for the win!
