This document is a handbook for using &appname;, a program for two- and three-dimensional graphical presentation of data sets and for data analysis.

This manual is organized in several chapters:

-The first chapter describes the main concepts and terms which are used in &appname;.

-The second chapter is a tutorial on how to obtain plots from different data sets. It is the one you need to read first to understand the basics of &appname; and to be able to draw plots.

-The three following chapters are descriptions of all the commands, buttons and dialogs used in &appname;. These chapters are the reference manual of &appname;.

- The two following chapters describe more deeply some specific possibilities of &appname;, that is the statistical and mathematical analysis of data, and the scripting.
