Citing Datagraph

[thopa]

Hello,

I use Datagraph for plotting and analysing most of my work during PhD in biophysics. As I use these graphs in publications I wanted to ask if there is a certain way you want the software to be cited.

Could you give me an example citation as you want it to be done?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas
