Origin is the first scientific software to combine presentation-quality graphics, the C language, and the NAG numerical library in a single package. Version 8 provides new timesaving tools that will simplify your routine tasks, from importing data to creating your graphs and applying detailed custom formatting.

First-time users will be able to produce results right out of the box, while advanced users can continue to exploit the depth of its power. Easy-to-use point-and-click interfaces are provided for data visualization, exploration, and analysis. Advanced data analysis tools include statistics, signal processing, curve fitting and peak analysis. The C programming capability combined with the numerical computation and graphing power make Origin a robust platform for routine data processing, analysis, and algorithm development.

Origin makes it easy to graph your data in any way you desire.

Import data from a wide selection of formats, or open Microsoft® Excel within Origin
Over 60 basic plot types allow you to quickly create 2D, 3D, contour, and image graphs
Easily construct and control multiple-axis and multiple-panel graphs
Annotate graphs with in-place text editing and embellish using modern drawing tools
Save custom graph formats as templates for future use
Export graphs as EPS, JPEG, TIFF, PDF, and many more

"The technical support remains the standard for the entire software industry - and one in which very, very few other companies come even close to matching."
- Dr. JF Kenney, GAS Resources Corp.

"....the two most important qualities that make Origin distinct from the other data analysis and presentation software are its beautifully simple and intuitive interface and its mighty versatility....we consider [Origin] to be one of the very best data analysis and scientific display software packages available for Windows..."
- PhysLINK.com, November 1998

"If you can imagine it, Origin can plot it."
- Review, Analytical Chemistry
