1. Measurement data (CSV file) can be plotted in 3D. • Interprets delimiters other than commas: tab(\t), space(\s) and so on. • Imports the 4th element, which is used as density, concentration and so on. • Imports the value represented with exponential notation "0.0E±0", which is outputted by Excel. • Internal processing in float type, which has a range of ±1E-38 to ±1E+38 with a precision of 6 decimal digits. 2. You can import CSV file in three ways: When completing within one device (iPhone/iPad/Mac). • Create a text file with an application (Notes, Textor, etc.) on the device. • In the application, tap "share button" and then choose “3dDataPlot”. Transfer from Mac to iPhone/iPad • Connect your device (iPhone/iPad) to your Mac via USB cable. • In Finder on your Mac, select the device in the left sidebar and click "File" on the button bar at the right. • Drop a text file into “3dDataPlot” folder. Import from iCloud • Sign in to iCloud.com from browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.) on your Mac. • Select “iCloud Drive”. • Drop a text file into “3dDataPlot” folder.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GraphMath at 100% against 3D Data Plot's 0%. GraphMath also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 17 months). 3D Data Plot's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
