Oberon Function Plotter v1.5 for CorelDRAW/Corel DESIGNER

Oberon Function Plotter is an advanced VBA macro add-on for CorelDRAW 10, 11, 12, X3, X4 and Corel DESIGNER 10, 12 that allows you to plot parametric function graphs by defining the functions in analytical form. There are quite a few programs that allow to create function lots already however most of them are self-contained modules with limited editing and illustration capabilities. Oberon Function Plotter coupled with the editing power of CorelDRAW provides the highest output quality.

If you are a student preparing your math paper or a scientist doing a scientific report, Oberon Function Plotter will help make your work precise and appealing. Even if you are a designer and look for certain curve patterns for your design, Oberon Function Plotter is for you.
