Altaxo is a data processing and plotting program written in C# for the .NET framework. Version 0.54 is a significant update. The drawing logic has been completely rewritten to allow other coordinate systems, for instance polar coordinates. The grouping logic of plot items also has been renewed. This allows for other plot styles, for instance column chart plot styles (and bar chart too - thanks to the updated coordinate system), stacked bar charts or relative bar charts and waterfall diagrams. An error bar style is now included too. Other new stuff (from version 0.53 to 0.54): The user interface for nonlinear fitting now supports predefined fitting functions (defined in the program - not changeable), user defined permanent fitting functions (stored in the users application directory) and document fitting functions (stored directly in the document). The GUI now allows to configure nearly all options of a pen or brush. Thus a lot of new possibilities to style your graph have been created. See also the project page at http://altaxo.sourceforge.net
