Igor Pro is a scientific data analysis software, numerical computing environment and programming language that runs on the Windows operating system. It is developed by WaveMetrics Inc., and was originally aimed at time series analysis, but has since then evolved and covers other applications such as curve fitting and image processing (see the official Igor Pro documentation). It comes with a fully functional programming language and compiler, but many functions are also accessible through menus. Igor Pro is primarily known for its graphics capabilities, and like Origin and other similar programs, is often used to generate plots for scientific and other publications. Other features include the possibility of extending the built-in functions with external operations (XOP) allowing data acquisition, manipulation and analysis features, communication with external devices and in principle any other task that can be programmed in C or C++. It was first released as "Igor" in 19891, and became "Igor Pro" circa 1994.
