Drawing a graph. |

I'm in a bit of a predicament, basically, I need to draw a scatter graph.
The trouble is that to get all of it down, I need something more like A3, it won't be accurate doing it by hand on A4.
I need some sort of software or online tool which will let me draw and plot the graph, but it has to be free.
I had a look at the graph drawing feature on Numbers '08, and it won't do, as it's not accurate enough, so could anyone please point me in the right direction so I can get this done?
It's for my Physics coursework/practical investigation, and the deadline for it is next Wednesday, so the sooner I can get the graph done, the sooner I can finish the project!
Thanks,
Arien.

Don't the computers at your school / college have Microsoft Office on them? Can't you just use Excel to plot the scatter graph?
If you can't get access to Microsoft Office, you could download openoffice istead. Or maybe even google spreadsheet can do it?

open office is brilliant at the scatter graphs. ^^

@Cyco,
seriously matey, the computers at my school are awful! The server is shite, and therefore everything crashes and burns all the time.
this is as accurate as I can get it on Numbers:
Ideally I would like more many more gridlines than that, but I'll have to just settle with it, if I can't do anything more.
and @Paul,
Can OpenOffice do anything better than my efforts so far? I don't really want to download it, if I'm only going to have to get rid of it again, after 10 mins.

Windows and Linux only, I reckon
The only other things I can think of are specialist maths packages but they aint free

Thanks guys, unless the graphics dept at school have any software I'm looking for, I think I'll just leave it at what I've already got and hope for the best.

Look at Autograph (google it!)
Last time I looked they had a free 14 day full trial and they are very accurate for graphs.

It won't run on OS X, however, that is a pretty good looking bit of software!
