• Automatic Window Placement in Review - The Surface-Fit graph's control panel now offers six predefined tiling options to automatically open and place various Review windows.
• Easy Add and Update - With a single button click, add or update parametric and non-parametric surface fits as sub-items to any data object.
• One - step XYZ specification of all data - Construct all XYZ data sets in a file, such as an Excel workbook, in a single step.
• Drag and Drop - Analytical procedures can be applied to different data sets using drag & drop, or copy & paste, options.
• Office XP Style Toolbars
• Mouse Wheel Surface Rotation

Data Input

• Up to 16,384 points in data table
• 16.4 million points can be filtered into table using averaging digital import filter
• Weights optionally assigned
• File types: ASCII, Excel, Lotus, Quattro Pro, SigmaPlot, dBASE, DIF, SPSS

Data Management

• Graphical and numerical sectioning; graphically enable or disable data points
• Apply calculations to X, Y, Z and Weight values
• Spreadsheet-like data editing with optional graphing of data as they are being entered
• Intrinsic smoothing of NURBS for gridded data, an enhanced 3D Loess procedure for scattered data

Output and Export

• Publication-quality printed graphs
• Image formats include bitmaps, metafiles, enhanced metafiles and device-independent bitmaps vFile formats include ASCII, Excel, Lotus, Quattro Pro and SigmaPlot
• RTF (Rich Text Format) export available from all text windows
• Multiline headers and color printing support were added for text and equation list windows

Enhanced Features

• Photorealistic Rendering - The maximum resolution of surface plots has been increased to 250x250 (from 120x120) making the rendered surfaces more accurate and visually more photorealistic.
• Continuous Surface Animation - The main window displays a surface plot that can be continuously animated, even while selecting different data sets.
• Updated Excel and SigmaPlot Import - Imports the latest Excel and SigmaPlot File formats.
• Improved Robust Fitting - The residuals in the merit function of the robust methods are scaled by the standard deviation of the Z values in the original data. This results in true scale invariance of the dependent or Z variable.
• Code Generation - Adds code generation capability for MATLAB, C++, and JAVA in addition to the previously supported C, PASCAL, BASIC and FORTRAN.
• Improved Evaluation Procedure - The ability to save and recall evaluation sequences as well as a live procedure with automatic update whenever an equation or algorithm setting changes.
