X526.35081 Y352.90748 X526.44549 Y352.81247 X526.57024 Y352.72764 X526.62627 Y352.66719 X526.79634 Y352.53728 X526.82 Y352.50456 X526.85573 Y352.51797 ... I'm looking for a software which having those points as input, it will graph the segments which join each point to the next. If needed I can format the output of the text file. Is there any software which do what I need?

MATLAB has intrinsic interpolating functions and conveniently takes in sets of data from .xls files or other types. Might be hard pressed getting a license though, unless your workplace has one.
