Note the difference of as-printed quality
between X-Y Plot output and excel_EMF output.

X_Y plot has plenty of options: quality or preference.

overlord:

are you trying to bring in a chart or data table into SMath? your original post referred to table data.

can you use Alex's EXCEL I/O plug in to read in the table directly?
i use it to grab arrays out of excel. with a bit of clever formatting, you can bring in units as well if they are syntaxed correctly.

i find it MUCH easier to edit and manipulate arrays in Excel than in SMath.

here is a snip with SMath and the excel sheet it imports from below.

X-Y Plot has no pixelation now (this was fixed a year ago.).

Easy otherwise pixelation [when convenient].
Caliper the plot width to length of data set.
That one does not fit my small screen.



Copy image, paste in IrfanView to recover quality.

Hi Uni, did not mean to stir trouble - the original post is over a year ago - i have just used it for an easy examle of displaying excel with no quality loss

I didn't either...
Pure tip to plot points as symbol, superposed/overposed
over other range of data on same X_Y trace.
Example: Isometric just posted [too small screen to caliper].

You mean: compare X_Y vs Excel ... X_Y of equal fineness ?
Post the maths that plot X_Y ... looks interesting.
Maybe convincing.
