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.
Vectors and Planes
This app visualizes and explains complex 3D geometry concepts, including linear and quadric structures and their intersections. It offers interactive 3D graphs and step-by-step calculation algorithms for a deeper understanding of mathematical principles.

Vectors and Planes App helps visualize and understand 3D linear and quadric structures and their intersections. List of linear structures and combinations: 1. Two vector combination. 2. Plane. 3. Line and plane combination. 4. Two plane combination. 5. Three plane combination. Current list of quadric structures: 1. Two sphere combination. 2. Standard ellipsoid. 3. Ellipsoid in a form of positive-definite matrix. 4. Standard cone. 5. Cone in a form of indefinite matrix. 6. 1-sheet hyperboloid. 7. 1-sheet hyperboloid in a form of indefinite matrix. 8. 2-sheet hyperboloid. 9. 2-sheet hyperboloid in a form of indefinite matrix. 10. Standard cylinder. 11. Cylinder in a form of positive-semidefinite matrix. 12. Hyperbolic paraboloid. 13. Elliptic paraboloid. Current list of combinations of quadric and linear structures: 1. Matrix ellipsoid and line. 2. Standard ellipsoid and plane. 3. Matrix ellipsoid and plane. 4. Matrix cone and line. 5. Standard cone and plane. 6. 1-sheet hyperboloid in matrix form and line. 7. 2-sheet hyperboloid in matrix form and line. 8. Matrix cylinder and line. 9. Elliptic paraboloid and line. 10. Hyperbolic paraboloid and line. Interactive 3D graphs are provided for all of the above. Step by step calculation algorithms are provided for all intersection point sets. Many of the algorithms are based on Linear Algebra concepts. Those, in turn, are explained in our “Matrix Solver Step by Step” app. Version 10 was completely redesigned. Developers hope to get feedback from users at graphmath@aol.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vectors and Planes at 100% against 3D Data Plot's 0%. Vectors and Planes also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 17 months). 3D Data Plot's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
