LabPlot is afree and open-source,cross-platform computer program for interactivescientific plotting,curve fitting,nonlinear regression,data processing anddata analysis. LabPlot is available, under theGPL-2.0-or-later license, forWindows,macOS,Linux,FreeBSD andHaiku operating systems.
It has agraphical user interface, acommand-line interface, and an interactive and animatednotebook interface. It is similar toOrigin and able to import Origin's data files.[2] Features include theHilbert transform function, statistics,color maps, conditional formatting, plot digitization and multi-axes.[3]
In 2008, developers of LabPlot andSciDAVis (another Origin clone, forked fromQtiPlot) "found their project goals to be very similar" and decided to merge their code into a common backend while maintaining two frontends: LabPlot, integrated with theKDE desktop environment (DE); and SciDAVis, written in DE-independentQt with fewer dependencies for easier cross-platform use.[4]
Starting April 2024, LabPlot received funding fromNLnet's NGI0 Core grant to add scripting capabilities (via Python and apublic interface), more data analysis functions, andstatistical analysis features.[5]
