  • Wide range of formatting and statistical options. You can choose from a full range of styles and statistical options.
  • Powerful exploratory tools. You can explore your data in various ways, such as by labeling, reordering, and rotating it. You can change chart types and the roles of variables in the chart. You can also add distribution curves and fit, interpolation, and reference lines.
  • Flexible templates for consistent look and behavior. You can create customized templates and use them to easily create charts with the look and options that you want.
