| Notes on Plotting Software
Several dedicated plotting programs are available. Our goal here is not to comprehensively survey the competing products, but is instead briefly to highlight some of the most commonly used plotting tools. Many of these can actually be used interchangeably, since, as described above, conventional F1~F2 vowel plots are simply scatter plots with the axes flipped, and most graphing tools can generate scatter plots without difficulty.
Specialized sociophonetic software is also available for both vowel plotting and normalization. Praat, the widely used phonetic software, can be used to generate plots using plug-ins such as Akustyk (Plichta 2006). Plotnik is the plotting software developed by William Labov and used for the The Atlas of North American English (ANAE, Labov, Ash and Boberg 2006). The VOIS3D (Vowel Overlap Indication Software - 3D) package, written in MATLAB but available as a standalone tool, is discussed in Chapter 8 ('Analyzing vowels'). Finally, NORM (Thomas and Kendall 2007) is a web-based vowel plotting and normalization suite written in R. All of the packages mentioned in this paragraph are free.
