I've been playing some more with TexShop and have been loving the results. Part of the lab involves including a few graphs. I've worked so hard making sure the math looks great printed, i want the same quality with the graphs. Unfortunately Maple, the software we did most of the number crunching with, prints out some of the most inelegant pictures. They look like 16 color windows bitmaps in lovely shades of cyan, magenta, or maroon. I did some more searching and came across Curvus Pro X for my Mac. It does an amazing job of fitting right into OS X by taking advantage of the Quartz Extreme technology which give a great assortment of color and transparency options as well as exporting to PDF. I can dump by graphs right into Adobe Illustrator, scale it, and perfect it to get just the look i want. The best part is that it's cheep: only $20 for the student edition!
