IsoContour

In 1986, we looked around for software which could provide high quality, presentation graphics of 2 parameter flow cytometry data. We couldn't find anything close to what we had in mind. So, we decided to write one. A year later, IsoContour was born. We created it for ourselves, but its full range of features is available to you today in our latest version. With IsoContour, you can rotate images on X, Y, and Z axes so that every little nook and cranny of your data is visible. Change colors, scaling, labels, perspective, and contours to generate the highest quality rendering available. Suppose you need to overlay different views of your data on the same screen. No problem. You want to color one peak red and another blue? Consider it done. What about copying high quality 3D graphics into another Microsoft Windows^TM program? Piece of cake. We didn't quit there, though. IsoContour sports quadstat and region analysis, speedy screen refresh, and macros which help automate your work. It can render images to hundreds of printers from dot matrix to typesetting machines.
