Im aware of Incompetech, which has loads of graph paper mostly for K-12 uses. I need several versions of logaritmic paper (perhaps downloadable so I can plot the data through, say Excel or some other data format.
ANY links?

@farmerman,
I don't know the answer other then I would think it would be easier to go to staples and buy some real world graph paper but ...

isn't Incompetech such a HORRIBLE name for a company?! Too close to incompetent for my taste to actually buy anything from them.

@tsarstepan,
How about http://www.waterproofpaper.com/graph-paper/

Or an official Microsoft template, http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/graph-paper-TC001018375.aspx

And I'd look up an engineering supply store in your area - there was a good one in my last small town of 26,000 people so I suppose there are some around and about in pennsylvania. They had some art supplies too, and a guy there built big canvasses for me in his off hours, but they were primarily an engineering supplier - all kinds of log and graph papers and if they didn't have it they could find it. Terrific tools, she says, salivating while remembering. That was Ellis Art and Engineering, by the way. Not much in that store directed to K to 12, although there were beginning pads too.

Also, maybe RealJohnBoy could direct you to a good source.

@ossobuco,
Im still pretty much unable to take long trips like Id need for a quest at a big college book store. I am maybe 25 miles from F&M and 60 miles from the University of Delaware and 70 miles from PEnn, Drexel, Lasalle, or TEmple where they have engineering supplies, Im sure

I need to do this work from home and all my other staffer folks are on major projects till end of Nov.


TSAR-thanks for the leads, Ill follow em up

@ossobuco,
its easier to ask you guys on a SUNDAY. Here in AMerica most engineering supply and tech bookstores are closed.

I certainly am capable of understanding the basics of telephony but I thought Id wait till MONDAY WHEN IM SURE SOMEONE WILL BE THERE.

Jeezus osso, Im not an idiot

@farmerman,
Jeesus, Farmer, you know I know you're not.

So, was the log at sea downloadable?

@tsarstepan,
I went to Staples website this AM and they have NO schmancy graph papers in their catalog on-line. They have loads of quadrille styles but when I later called the STaples in LAncaster, they had no idea what LOGARITHMIC even meant

@farmerman,
I got a free trial to use it. If I decied to get a years license, itll cost about 1000 bucks. Ill get it and Ill have to pass it through.
However, I still do my math functions with a pencil on paper.

@farmerman,
I still keep a slide rule and use the cursor as a logarithmic ruler for plotting semi and log log plots.

@raprap,
HA, I use the center part of two old slide riules as a table mount to put laptops on(so they dont overheat on the base)

I found an old book of Hydrology systems that had problems associated with the sections. So I had much paper copied. 3X4, 3X5, Semi log, nomograph , and phase rule .
I saw some 7 cycle log paper, I wonder what the hell those guys were plotting?

Built into Excel are many types of graph paper patterns, including several styles of log "papers". I had the makins all along. effects for graphs

@Butrflynet,
Its in the graphing tools. I made an icon so I can get to the place. Ill have to go back to my sequence. (I wrote it down so I dont have to worry about messing up when I hit a wronge key -which always happens when Im either plotting or pooping out various passwords).Drives me nutz when I do that cause it makes me feel Im losing it .

@farmerman,
PS, those of us that feel more comfortable with the old Lotus , it has a friendlier, but less detailed node spacing than does Excel. I also have several open source "Office programs and "Rockware" that allows one to plot all kinds of graph routines including 3 D and "Phase rule" and other triaxial plots
