Origin 7.0: Scientific Graphing and Data Analysis Software

At the most basic level, this piece of software satisfies the functional requirements that one would expect to see in any graphing package: accepting data from a variety of file formats, creating useful visualizations, and exporting these images for use in presentation or publishing software. Touted as an application “where ease-of-use and power intersect”, this version exceeds expectations. The incorporation of an Origin-specific compiled programming language, Origin C, which can interface with Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG) function libraries adds a level of sophistication to this product that is not seen in many similar packages, yet this increased complexity is mediated through the implementation of an intuitive and customizable user interface.
