== History ==

In 2008, developers of LabPlot and [[SciDAVis]] (another Origin clone, forked from [[QtiPlot]]) "found their project goals to be very similar" and decided to merge their code into a common backend while maintaining two frontends: LabPlot, integrated with the [[KDE]] desktop environment (DE); and SciDAVis, written in DE-independent [[Qt]] with lessfewer dependencies for easier cross-platform use.<ref>{{citation|url=http://dot.kde.org/2009/10/16/labplot-and-scidavis-collaborate-future-free-scientific-plotting|title = LabPlot and SciDAVis Collaborate on the Future of Free Scientific Plotting|date = 16 October 2009}}</ref>

Staring April 2024, LabPlot received funding from [[NLnet]]'s NGI0 COre grant to add scripting capabilities (via Python and a [[public interface]]), more data analysis functions, and [[statistical analysis]] features.<ref>{{Citation |title=LabPlot |work=Projects |url=https://nlnet.nl/project/LabPlot/ |access-date=2024-08-22 |publisher=[[NLnet]] Foundation}}</ref>
