Plotting of data in graphical form is a powerful tool for conceptualizing the meaning of the data and helping to discover experimental error (bad data due either to faulty procedures or experimental blunders.) In plotting graphs you should take advantage of computer graphics packages such as KaleidaGraph, Excel, or other plotting software.
