Introduction
PhysPlot is a simple Graph and Histogram Plotting Program designed for use in the Undergraduate Physics Laboratories at Queen Mary, University of London to replace the program WinGraph which has been in use for several years. PhysPlot is a new program written in C++ which aims to have a similar user interface and functionality as WinGraph but hopefully will be easier to extend if required. PhysPlot is a proper 32 bit windows application which runs under Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT4. It has not yet been tried under Windows 2000. It should run on any of these systems which have a fairly recent version of Internet Explorer installed.Changes from previous versions
