This new version extends the charting, graphing, and data-analysis tools of DeltaGraph to take full advantage of the Macintosh® Quartz Extreme™ graphics system and Aqua™ interface. Building on the benefits of the UNIX-based OS X operating system, DeltaGraph 5 enables Mac users to develop a broad spectrum of 2D and 3D graphs and charts containing the visual effects found in the Aqua interface. In addition, the software is optimized for the new Quartz Extreme graphics system, greatly improving the video and graphic performance of Apple computers. “DeltaGraph 5 has taken the beautifully-innovative graphic capabilities that Mac OS X is known for and combined it with the science of data analysis,” said Craig Hopson, CEO of Red Rock Software. “Using DeltaGraph, numbers, formulas and statistics are turned into compelling information that is engaging, enlightening, and easier to analyze.” The newest release of DeltaGraph contains over 80 chart and graph types with over 200 styles to address specific business needs. The software helps researchers, analysts, and managers who work with complex sets of data to collect, analyze and present their findings in a visually compelling and memorable manner. The flexible program includes a chart advisor and style libraries that enable users to quickly edit and arrange legends, grids, and pictures anywhere on a chart to achieve a greater level of impact and readability. “The ability to rapidly communicate ideas and concepts is invaluable,” said Patrick Arnott, a DeltaGraph 5 beta user from the Division of Atmospheric Sciences, Desert Research Institute. “With all the customizable charts in DeltaGraph 5, I’m able to share information with a wide audience.” In addition to charts and graphs, DeltaGraph’s Formula Builder, with 50 statistical and other mathematical functions, helps users shorten the time it takes to analyze data from a variety of angles.
