Best tool for graphically representing the findings

4 years ago in Research Writing By Anu


I want to present the key findings of my research through illustrations and diagrams. I’m aiming to submit my manuscript to the high-impact journal. Can someone please suggest me the best that I can use for graphically representing the results.

You have to use a vector graphics editor to create charts, graphs, etc. One such tool is Inkscape. 
This is open-source software and works with SVG files. The added benefit of this tool is it can run on 
all types of operating systems including Windows, Linux and Mac

Inkscape is a great choice if you want to develop line art. It can work with SVG, PDF and EPS files.

There are many tools. You can use any one among them.  Check out Sigmaplot, MATLAB, Gnuplot, Origin, etc.

The choice of tool depends on the type of illustrations you want to create. For diagrams or graphs, you can use Origin,  Gnuplot, Octave, or Igor. For 2D illustrations, you can use Inkscape or adobe illustrator.  For 3D illustrations, you can use a blender and for chemical structures utilise JMol or Chime.

Inkspace is a good tool. Alternatively, you can use image brick or cytospace. Imagebrick is used to develop images JPEG, PNG, FIG, etc. software.  It enables users to manage colours, delineate features of an image and is also compatible with multiple coding.  On the other hand, cytospace is used to integrate and visualize data for free.
