Comments on: 3D Scatter Plot of data read from a file http://www.emresururi.com/physics/?p=49 a blog about physics, computation, computational physics and materials... Mon, 20 Jun 2016 16:19:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.3 By: Mathcad http://www.emresururi.com/physics/?p=49&cpage=1#comment-5020 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 18:20:31 +0000 http://www.emresururi.com/physics/?p=49#comment-5020 I personally never used neither Mathematica or Maple yet I did have a go with Mathcad 2001i on a few occasion and my overall experience was good in terms of plotting capabilities.

Altogether if I needed to plot anything I usually just whacked it into spreadsheet and that did it for me; obviously I am not a hardcore plotting guru. I always felt that Mathcad has a better set of capabilities than a normal excel yet this feeling might have just come from the fact that Mathcad has a generally broad grasp on Math rather Excel.

Anyway, this posting is a very interesting reading and it nicely encompasses the advantages as well as shortcomings of Mathematica as well as Mathcad…

Thank you for this article.

splot “dataFile1.txt”,”dataFile2.txt”

and that’s all!
