AppleWorks Replacement

Some time ago, I initiated a thread about a replacement for Appleworks Spreadsheet, pointing out that Apple's Numbers can not plot the graph I need.
Some time later, after many helpful suggestions, I thanked everyone, and indicated I was done absent some new information. 
Well, here is a relevant new fact; I have found exactly what I needed, and it is:
An application called DataGraph is quite capable of drawing not only the precise graph I needed, but even more. It is a product of Visual Data Tools, Inc., and is derived from Data Tank, an extremely complex scientific plotting application (and $1200). DataGraph by itself, however, is a reasonable $40. David Adalsteinsson has been rapidly and superbly responsive to every query I have made. I unhesitatingly recommend the app. 
I have NO connection with David or Visual Data Tools except that of a satisfied customer.
This is my last post on the subject. I have found what I need.

I think that, for many of us, if we had realized that a stand along
graphing application would satisfy you, we'd have mentioned
DeltaGraph.

This application has been around forever. I seem to remember that it
was at v3.5 in 1995.

(I just looked at its website, and it seems to do much more than just
visual data, these days. Thanks for prompting me to look at it again.)

To be clear, DataGraph is a different app from DeltaGraph:

DeltaGraph
