Explore Graph Builder
Explore data, build layered scientific graphs, and save figures or reusable projects. Start with the synthetic example or import your own data. Graph Builder runs in a desktop browser and as a Windows app.
The Windows app adds offline use after installation, opening project files directly from File Explorer, recent projects, update checks, and more keyboard shortcuts for opening and saving work.
