I was very disappointed with Delta graph and would not recommend it.
First--the version I had (3.0 I think) was very buggy. Lots of crashes, and it
wouldn't do things that the manual promised--especially with 3D graphs.
Moreover, it seemed to be much more of a "business" oreinted graphing
program, and much of the gee-wiz-bang stuff would be of little use for
scientific graphs.
I use KaleidaGraph and am very happy with it. You'll probably also
get many
recommendations for Igor, which is, as I understand it, very full featured, but
has a steaper learning curve.
