Is this the open source MATLAB?
@blindbunny
#LabPlot isn't exactly an open-source #MATLAB, but it is a an open-source and cross-platform tool for visualizing and analyzing data.
It focuses on creating interactive scientific plots and offers features like curve fitting, Fourier and Hilbert transforms, data manipulation, and live data support.
Computing with e.g. #Python, #R, #Maxima is also possible with interactive notebooks available in LabPlot.
You can see a list of LabPlot features here:

My work revolves around taking tons of data with a python script, then processing it and generating graphs in another script. E.g. I measure y as I modify v, p, s, and f. And then at each v, p, and s, I look at y vs. f and extract some value k, then look at k vs s at each v, p and extract a j, then plot j vs v and p.
How would labplot fit into this? I've been thinking about what the next change in my plotting would be, and I've considered either adding on-click functionality to my existing script so I can click a v, p, j point to see the k vs s graph that gave that j; or possibly using some library that gives some web-browser based control of graphing. But if labplot seems well suited to this I can also add it into the contenders
That's basically spyder
