While ND is not a desktop publishing program, it does contain support for annotations. Currently lines, arrows, boxes, ellipsoids and text are supported. NXplotNd is currently available only for NeXTStep . When the GnuStep project comes out with a functional release it may become available for other platforms. Plots can appear in multiple views simultaneously, in some cases the same plot can generate both a 2d and a 3d representation.
Plots are modular so new plots can be added easily.
Data can be imported from a variety of file types. Internal function parser for plotting equations and processing imported data. Global variables can be varied in real time. They can be used in functions or to modify some plot parameters. Multidimensional fitting with up to 16 parameters.
