'''LabPlot''' is a [[free and open-source software|free and open-source]], [[cross-platform]] computer program for interactive [[Plot (graphics)|scientific plotting]], [[curve fitting]], [[nonlinear regression]], [[data processing]] and [[data analysis]]. LabPlot is available, under the [[GNU_GPLv2|GPL-2.0-or-later]] license, for [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[macOS]], [[Linux]], [[FreeBSD]] and [[Haiku_(operating_system)|Haiku]] operating systems.

It has a [[graphical user interface]], a [[command-line interface]], and an interactive and animated [[notebook interface]]. It is similar to [[Origin (data analysis software)|Origin]] and able to import Origin's data files.<ref>{{Citation |last1=Косуліна |first1=Н.Г. |title=Програмне Забезпечення Обов'язкових Та Вибіркових Освітніх Компонентів Освітньої Програми «біомедична Інженерія» |work=Sciences of Europe |issue=131 |page=77 |publication-date=December 2023 |trans-title=Software of mandatory and optional educational components Educational program “Biomedical Engineering” |url=https://www.europe-science.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Sciences-of-Europe-No-131-2023.pdf |place=[[Prague]], Czech Republic |last2=Сухін |first2=В.В. |last3=Чорна |first3=М.О. |last4=Ляшенко |first4=Г.А. |last5=Коршунов |first5=К.С. |lang=uk}}</ref> Features include the [[Hilbert transform]] function, statistics, [[Image color transfer|color maps]], conditional formatting, and multi-axes.<ref>{{Citation |last=Carmona |first=Marco |title=7 Free and Open Source Plotting Tools [For Maths and Stats] |date=2021-11-08 |work=It’s FOSS |url=https://itsfoss.com/open-source-plotting-apps/ |access-date=2024-08-22 |language=en}}</ref>

== History ==
In 2008, developers of LabPlot and [[SciDAVis]] (another Origin clone, forked from [[QtiPlot]]) "found their project goals to be very similar" and decided to merge their code into a common backend while maintaining two frontends: LabPlot, integrated with the [[KDE]] desktop environment (DE); and SciDAVis, written in DE-independent [[Qt (software)|Qt]] with fewer dependencies for easier cross-platform use.<ref>{{citation|url=http://dot.kde.org/2009/10/16/labplot-and-scidavis-collaborate-future-free-scientific-plotting|title = LabPlot and SciDAVis Collaborate on the Future of Free Scientific Plotting|date = 16 October 2009}}</ref>

Starting April 2024, LabPlot received funding from [[NLnet]]'s NGI0 Core grant to add scripting capabilities (via Python and a [[public interface]]), more data analysis functions, and [[statistical analysis]] features.<ref>{{Citation |title=LabPlot |work=Projects |url=https://nlnet.nl/project/LabPlot/ |access-date=2024-08-22 |publisher=[[NLnet]] Foundation}}</ref>
