Question

Are there other programs that allow you to enter data and represent it graphically.....besides excel??

Answer 1

Are you looking for just a free alternative to excel, or something that generates nicer looking plots?

For spreadsheet alternatives, you've got openoffice, google docs, or Koffice.

For scientific graphic apps, I've posted a link.  Matlab is really powerful, though expensive.  There are some free alternatives like Octave, or some specialized standalone graphing apps

Answer 2

Matlab?  If you just want pie charts and the like stick withy Excel.  It's a relatively powerful program believe it or not.
