I've tried both inkjet and "digital offset" printing and both were unsatisfactory. I don't need graph paper when I can draw this in a spread sheet. The curve showed we would be rid of this disease in the US in just two more weeks. A perfect example of this is fitting a line to the daily infection rates to estimate when we could be rid of COVID if we just kept doing what we were doing. A more dedicated tool or a spread sheet addin would be nice. A spread sheet is only a B+ tool for graphing. I have even gone so far as to draw a line on top of a chart when it's too much trouble to extract the subset of data to use for the linear regression. Tools give me curve fits and many things that would be inaccurate done by hand. What I typically end up doing is creating a table of the data in a spread sheet and letting it draw the chart for me. Wouldn't it be better to have the graph paper on the computer screen in a way for you too draw on it without a pen and ruler and all the added errors? It's not often I want to draw a graph that isn't already drawn for me, but when it happens, I don't want paper. ![]()
