LabPlot is a free and open-source, cross-platform computer program for interactive scientific plotting, curve fitting, nonlinear regression, data processing and data analysis. LabPlot is available, under the GPL-2.0-or-later license, for Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD and Haiku operating systems.

It has a graphical user interface, a command-line interface, and an interactive and animated notebook interface. It is similar to Origin and able to import Origin's data files.[2] Features include the Hilbert transform function, statistics, color maps, conditional formatting, and multi-axes.[3]

History

In 2008, developers of LabPlot and SciDAVis (another Origin clone, forked from QtiPlot) "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 the KDE desktop environment (DE); and SciDAVis, written in DE-independent Qt with fewer dependencies for easier cross-platform use.[4]

Starting April 2024, LabPlot received funding from NLnet's NGI0 Core grant to add scripting capabilities (via Python and a public interface), more data analysis functions, and statistical analysis features.[5]
