I am looking for information on graph packages for the mac.
I have been advised to try cricket graph and would like
information from anyone who has used it,  or suggestions
for alternative packages available in Australia.

My data is generated on a sun workstation and can be formatted
however is needed.  I don't want to input by hand as there will be
several hundred plots,  in different styles. It needs to have
- scatter graphs (up to 500 points)
- mean and standard error to plot error bars
- curve fitting (preferably splines - the data is not polynomial)
- overlay graphs on the same plot in different line formats
- some representation of 3D surfaces such as wire mesh would be nice.
- ability to label points of interest interactively
- able to be cut and pasted into a word 3.01 document
- compatible with the laser writer.

Any information would be appreciated.  Please mail replies direct to
