RINEARN Graph 2D

RINEARN Graph 2D is a graphing software developed in the Java® language, and it can be used on various PC operating systems (not available for smartphones), including Microsoft® Windows® and Linux. Since no installation is required, you can use it as your regular graphing software or even carry it on a USB memory stick for use on the go.

If you are using Windows, simply double-click the "RinearnGraph2D_..*.bat" (batch file, * represents the version number) in the downloaded and extracted folder to launch the program. On the first run, it will automatically download the necessary Java runtime environment (JRE). If you are using Linux or another operating system, you can launch it by executing "RinearnGraph2D.jar" with the "java -jar" command in a terminal.

* In either case, if you add the path of the "bin" folder from the downloaded and extracted files to the "Path" (or "PATH") environment variable, you can launch the program by using the "ring2d" command in a terminal.

With RINEARN Graph 2D, you can not only load data from files but also easily create graphs from data in spreadsheet software like Microsoft® Excel®!

To do this, simply download and launch RINEARN Graph 2D, select and copy the data from your spreadsheet, then right-click on the graph screen and choose "Paste Data" to instantly generate a graph.

For details on data formatting, refer to the Data File Format Guide. If you save the data as a text file, you can open and load it from the "File" menu at the top of the graph screen.

RINEARN Graph 2D is designed as a simple plotting tool, focusing on being lightweight and easy to use, rather than being a feature-heavy graphing software for creating complex diagrams. It adopts a user-friendly interface centered around a menu bar and mouse operations for simple and intuitive use.

With mouse operations, you can move the plot area freely in any direction by dragging with the left mouse button. You can also select an arbitrary plot area by dragging with the right mouse button, and zoom in or out intuitively using the scroll wheel.

Additionally, the interface is designed to be consistent with the 3D graph version, RINEARN Graph 3D, so if you are already familiar with that software, you'll feel right at home using this one too.

Like its sibling software RINEARN Graph 3D, RINEARN Graph 2D also supports animation features. You can use modes that animate multiple graph data series over time or modes that gradually plot points while tracking their coordinates.

Animating data from a single file is as simple as opening the data file and selecting "Tools" > "Animation" from the menu bar.

Additionally, there is a tool available under the "Program" menu that allows you to sequentially read and animate multiple data files with sequentially numbered names. It also supports saving the animated sequence as image files!

This tool is implemented in the VCSSL scripting language, which is natively supported by RINEARN Graph. You can also download and use it as a standalone tool from the link below:

RINEARN Graph 2D comes with a built-in tool for plotting graphs from various mathematical expressions.

The math plotting tool is implemented in the VCSSL scripting language, which is natively supported by RINEARN Graph. You can also download and use it as a standalone tool from the links below:

In RINEARN Graph 2D, you can easily use these tools by selecting "y(x)," "y(x,t)," or "x(t), y(t)" from the "Formula Plot" folder under the "Program" menu.

RINEARN Graph 2D can also be controlled from programs written in Java or the VCSSL scripting language, allowing it to be used as a graph rendering library.

This is useful not only for automating tasks such as "loading data from a file, rendering a graph, and saving an image," but also for using RINEARN Graph 2D as a data visualization component to create custom software or applications.

• How to control RINEARN Graph 2D with VCSSL

VCSSL, in particular, is fully supported as the standard scripting feature for automating processes in RINEARN Graph, so you can run programs from the "Program" menu in RINEARN Graph 2D without needing any additional development or runtime environment.

The official VCSSL site also offers plenty of sample code for controlling RINEARN Graph 2D:

Additionally, there are VCSSL programs available for more advanced uses, such as displaying RINEARN Graph 2D as part of an application:

You can also use the "Wallpaper Feature" to display an image as the background of your graph. This can be useful for adding an explanatory image to your graph or simply for a change of scenery while working.

It's easy to use: just place a JPEG image file named "RinearnGraph2DScreen" (with the .jpg extension) in the RINEARN Graph 2D folder, and it will be loaded and displayed as the wallpaper when the software starts.
