Which graphic packages shall I use?

Scatter plots, bar plots box plots: Please use SigmaPlot, Origin, Grapher, IGOR Pro, or the free software tool gnuplot (http://www.gnuplot.info/). Avoid MS Excel for scientific graphs, as those graphs usually don’t look nice. In all cases avoid hairlines, all lines must have at least 1 px width. Hairlines can not be printed in a high quality printing process, because they are thinner than the printer's resolution.

Mine Water is the water that collects in both surface and underground mines. It comes from the inflow of rain or surface water and from groundwater seepage. During the active life of the mine, water is pumped out to keep the mine dry and to allow access to the ore body. Pumped water may be used in the extraction process, pumped to tailings impoundments, used for activities like dust control, or discharged as a waste. The water can be of the same quality as drinking water, or it can be very acidic and laden with high concentrations of potentially toxic elements.
