Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to technical, licensing, and general questions about AltaiPlot.

What makes AltaiPlot different from traditional scientific graphing tools?

AltaiPlot is engineered specifically for speed and lightweight execution. Unlike heavy legacy suites, it utilizes GPU acceleration to render multi-million-point scientific datasets in real-time with minimal RAM consumption.

Can AltaiPlot perform complex curve fitting on large matrices?

Yes, AltaiPlot includes custom non-linear and parametric curve-fitting algorithms optimized for rapid calculation across high-density matrix exports.

Does AltaiPlot require an internet connection?

No, AltaiPlot is built offline-first. It runs fully locally on your machine with embedded Python, meaning your data never leaves your computer and no server pings are required.

What platforms does AltaiPlot support?

AltaiPlot provides native support for Windows, macOS, and Linux, ensuring consistent performance and UI across all desktop platforms.

Can I export publication-ready figures?

Yes, AltaiPlot supports high-DPI export in vector (SVG, PDF) and raster (PNG, TIFF) formats, designed specifically to meet journal submission standards.

How does the academic license work?

AltaiPlot is free for verified students, educators, and university researchers. You can request a free academic license directly inside the application using your university email address.

What file formats can AltaiPlot import?

AltaiPlot supports major scientific and data formats including CSV, TSV, ASCII text files, and custom binary matrix exports. Its streaming parser is optimized to load files with over 10M+ rows in seconds.

How does the embedded Python environment work?

AltaiPlot includes a pre-packaged Python 3.11 environment with NumPy, SciPy, and Pandas pre-installed. You do not need to install Python separately on your system to run calculations, advanced curve fitting, or automation macros.

Can I create custom fitting equations?

Yes, you can define custom parametric and non-linear fitting formulas. AltaiPlot compiles them dynamically using its built-in solver engine for rapid iteration over large datasets.

Is there a perpetual (lifetime) license option?

Yes, we offer perpetual lifetime licenses for both Individual Pro and Commercial Pro plans, which include lifetime software updates and offline licensing activation.
