Twitter would be good for this...
So, physics folks: what do you use to make graphs for test questions?
John convinced me to give Omni GraphSketcher a try and it is worth every penny. You can also quickly copy and paste data into it and do linear fits if needed.
Alright, Omni GraphSketcher's pretty cool. I do wish that it could draw functions, but it's probably not actually all that necessary for me. Win for the webs!
Followup: were I to join Twitter, what would be the three easiest things that I could do to get the most out of it?
What platform are you on? I use OmniGraffle Pro, but it's Mac only.

ReplyDeleteOmni GraphSketcher. Hands down the best for piecewise/hand drawn graphs. See my review, Omni GraphSketcher, will you marry me?
ReplyDeleteMac only, but that's not a problem for you.
And, by the way, when are you joining twitter? :)

Geogebra's nice for diagrams, too! Thanks for the great tips, everyone!
