Graphmatica can also make use of the file GRAPHMAT.INI to store setup
information, but I have not included one since if it is not found
Graphmatica simply uses its own default settings. See the help file for
information on the setup file.
System Requirements:
-------------------Graphmatica for Windows requires one of the following operating systems:
Windows 8/8.1
Windows 7
Windows Vista
Windows XP
Windows 2000 SP4*
* To run on Windows 2000, you must have SP4 and "update rollup 1":

You must also download and install gdiplus.dll in your Windows system
directory or the Graphmatica installation directory. Get it from:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18909
In addition, I've received reports that Graphmatica can be run on
Debian Linux with Wine (the Windows emulator) installed.
Graphmatica supports high-resolution/true color video modes, but any 16-bit
color or better video mode will be fine. A few features work best if you use
a scroll-wheel mouse or other pointing-device, but it is not required.
Installing Graphmatica for Windows:
----------------------------------Run Graphmatica23.msi. This will install the program, create icons, and set
1. Fixed some cases where the screen did not refresh immediately due to
changes to reduce flicker in 2.2d.
2. Enhanced Paste Data Plot to accept cells with numbers formatted as currency
or percent (all symbols are dropped, but the correct decimal value is
preserved) and rows with Unix or Mac (instead of DOS) line endings.
3. Fixed issues with merging graph documents on load.
4. Data Plot window is now hidden by default when loading a graph document
with no data plots.
5. Fixed redraw of domain end-caps on curves that use the free variable 'a'.
What's new in version 2.2d:
===========================
1. Reworked screen painting on Windows to reduce flickering when scrolling the
grid or zooming in and out quickly.
2. Added Logarithmic function curve fitting option.
3. The Exponential curve fitting option now formats equations as y = a b^x.
4. The Find All Graphs feature now includes data plots in its search for
portions of curves that are not currently visible.
What's new in version 2.2c:
===========================
1. Fixed an infinite loop in calculating point tables for domains starting at
x >= 10000.
2. Curve fit equations now display R (coefficient of determination) instead
of r for non-linear fits to avoid confusion.
3. Demo files now install in and default document open/save folder is preset
to "My Documents\Graphmatica" to help avoid issues where newer versions of
Windows won't let you save data under "Program Files".
4. Fixed issue with y=ln x not displaying for certain grid ranges due to prior
fix for CPU spin on certain graphs on log paper.
What's new in version 2.2b:
===========================
1. Corrected domain specifications in one more demo file and a help page.
2. XP-style common controls are now loaded on 64-bit versions of Windows.
3. The installer is now digitally signed to verify that you have downloaded
an authentic version of the program.
What's new in version 2.2a:
===========================
1. Fixed domains in some of the demo files to be parseable when the decimal
separator is set to ','.
2. Improved rendering of graphs with highly-vertical segments (including any
graph that crosses y=0) when using logarithmic graph paper.
What's new in version 2.2:
==========================
1. The Windows version is now compiled with Unicode support. This means you
can use both Greek and Roman characters, as well as an extended set of
superscript exponents, subscripts, and mathematical operations as you like
in annotations, graph titles, and equations--provided you have selected
compatible fonts. You can also share such files with Graphmatica for Mac
OS X (which has always used Unicode).
2. Added special characters tool dialog to make it easier to enter Greek
letters, super- and subscript numerals, and authentic math operators like
times sign and division without using Character Map or memorizing keycodes.
3. Added support for Greek letters and subscripts in function and constant
names. (So you can now define constants as the single letters alpha, beta,
etc. and use the Greek letter pi instead of Roman "p" or "pi".)
4. The sum and gamma/gammaln functions can now also be specified using the

so data sets with exact solutions don't end up with extra junk terms in
them (e.g. y = 2x+2.1*10^-5).
Added support for solving single-variable equations (and inequalities)
with 2 solutions, e.g. x^2-x=6 or x > 6/x
Added support for labels along the bottom of the grid (not just the top).
Fixed bug which caused annotations to print at unreadably small size.
Fixed bug in 2.0d which caused Copy Graphs (Color) to use default color
scheme instead of alternate pre-defined color scheme.
