      I mainly use a software programme (Rstudio) to draw my graphs. Graphs are drawn using code – particularly using the “dplyr” package to get the data in the correct format and the “ggplot2” package to draw the graphs – both are within Rstudio. this gives me a lot of control over how exactly I want the graphs to look.

      With students – I normally help them to draw graphs in “Minitab”. This is much more a drop down menus within the programme experience. This is easier for students who do not have experience of the more detailed coding described above
