How to add an empty graph
You can add a 2D/3D Graph from the
Insert item in the menu bar:
Insert > Plot > 2D / 3D
Keyboard shortcut: a 2D Graph can be added directly typing @
Now an empty graph will be added:
Plot equations
Variables to plot equations must be:
NOTE: variables are case sensitive (x is different from X)
You have multiple ways to plot equations:
Directly from the plot window
Indirectly, building your equation outside the plot window
Plot matrices
You can plot figures from
matrices (directly or indirectly):
- 2 columns matrices for 2D plots
- 3 columns matrices for 3D plots
Multiple plots
You can plot multiple equations/matrices on the same graph using the
Multiple values item on the Functions
toolbox:
Each "value" will be colored differently (cycling between 6 colours, in the following order: blue, red, green, magenta, orange and brown)
Special plots (Words,Points,etc...)
You can plot words or characters (strings) on your graphs;
- Special characters (case sensitive) have position fixed on center on the given coordinates: + . * o x;
- Words, phrases or non-special characters have top-left corner of (virtual) textbox fixed on the given coordinates;
- Many colors are allowed, using web format (like #6699CC) or by name; here is a complete list of possible colors (spaces and upper case letters are not matter):

Zooming is done with the zoom tool. If you roll your mouse wheel it zooms both axes together. If you hold 'control' at the same time it just zooms the vertical axis, and if you use 'shift' and the mouse wheel it zooms the horizontal axis.
