What it is

Graphs is a free Linux desktop application for plotting and manipulating data, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It imports column files such as CSV, DAT, XY, and plain text, plus ODS and XLSX spreadsheets, SQLite databases, Panalytical XRDML, Leybold XRY, and Graphs project files. Equations can generate datasets and remain rendered across the plot canvas. Data operations include translation, multiplication, normalization, centering, smoothing, differentiation, integration, Fourier transformation, combining, shifting, cutting, and custom coordinate transformations. Curve fitting offers linear, quadratic, exponential, power-law, logarithmic, sigmoid logistic, Gaussian, and custom-equation models. Results may include parameter confidence margins, confidence bands, R², RMSE, and residual plots. Users can select or create plot styles controlling colors, fonts, lines, markers, error bars, axes, ticks, and grids. Figures export to PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG, PDF, PostScript, or Encapsulated PostScript, with underlying data export too. Vector output can be edited in applications such as Inkscape. Flathub describes the app as requesting no permissions.

Strong points and limits

Strong points

  • Broad scientific import support
  • Equation-generated datasets
  • Multiple curve-fitting models
  • Detailed fit diagnostics
  • Vector and raster export

Limits

  • Linux desktop only
  • No scheduled refresh
  • No embedded dashboards

Who it suits

It suits Linux users preparing data plots for scientific publications or presentations and needing equation, fitting, styling, and export tools.

Verdict

Graphs provides a substantial plotting and analysis toolkit for local Linux data work, including fitting and publication-oriented exports. It is a desktop tool rather than a dashboard service.
