Graphs

One of the major drawbacks of Mathcad, compared with, say, Matlab, or even Excel ( much though I hate to say it!), is its very limited graphing capability. Currently, of course, Prime is even worse than M15 in this respect. Prime 3 needs to address this (among many other things) if it is to become a serious contender in the world of engineering (it might not be such a problem for academia). Here is my initial list of things that need to be made available just for 2D graphs:

Gridlines

Title

Axis labels (and orientation of words)

Control of tick spacing and labelling

Legends (that can be dragged anywhere).

Boxed.

Copy and paste to other, non-Mathcad documents (e.g. Microsoft Word).

Two y-axes.

Plotting multiple lines from a single variable rather than having to separate out its components and list them explicitly.

Inserting text, arrows, numbers etc. (as an intrinsic part of the figure) - with user choice of fonts.
