LabPlot was initiated by Stefan Gerlach, a scientist and IT administrator at the University of Konstanz.[2] He separately published liborigin, a library for reading OriginLab OPJ project files.[3]
In 2008, developers of LabPlot and SciDAVis (another Origin clone, forked from QtiPlot) "found their project goals to be very similar" and "decided to start a close cooperation" with the aim of merging their code into a common backend, while maintaining "two frontends, one with full KDE4 integration (called LabPlot 2.x) and one with no KDE dependencies (pure Qt) for easier cross-platform use (called SciDAVis)".[4][5]
