For plotted graphs, charts and Statistics:
OriginPro - OriginPro is a software application that combines point-and-click interfaces for scientific graphing and analysis with a powerful programming environment. OrginPro can be configured for the each journal figure template. Available from UVa Software Gateway.
R – Open Source programming tool. Provides a wide variety of statistical (classical statistical tests, linear and nonlinear modeling, time-series analysis, clustering, etc.) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible, but it has a steep learning curve.
Excel- Relatively easier to use than other tools, nice chart options, can produce graphics quickly when data is ready. A disadvantage of Excel is that you cannot really create eye-catching graphics, and you lose a lot of data analysis capability and figure resolution. Available from UVa Software Gateway as part of Microsoft Suite office.
MATLAB-MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization, and programming. Provides a great variety of functions and techniques for graphical display of data, good choice for creating complex graphs. Available from UVa Software Gateway.
For drawings/diagrams/sketches/images:
Inkscape: professional vector graphics editor. It allows you to design complex figures, it is free, and a nice alternative to Adobe Illustrator.
GIMP: An application for tasks such as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. Free and nice alternative to Adobe Photoshop.
ImageJ- Open source tool, to prepare your images, and you can bundle it with a large collection of useful analysis tools through Fiji distribution.
GNU Plot- Open source platform, created to allow scientists and researchers to visualize mathematical functions and data interactively, but has grown to support many non-interactive uses such as web scripting.
SolidWorks- SolidWorks is a tool used for 2D and 3D drawing, parametric modeling and 3D viewing. Available from UVa Software Package
