2:
3: The \textbf{function} tag allows you to specify the curve to be
4: plotted as a formula, instead of numerical data.
5:
1.2 ! matthew 6: The function must be a mathematical expression.
1.1 matthew 7: Use the independent variable ``x'' for cartesian plots and ``t'' for polar
8: plots.
9: Implicit multiplication is not accepted by Gnuplot.
10: The following are examples of valid functions and invalid functions:
11:
12: \begin{itemize}
13: \item \texttt{sin(x)}
14: \item \texttt{sin(2*x)}
15: \item \texttt{sin(x**2)}
16: \item \texttt{exp(x)}
17: \item \texttt{3*x**x}
18: \item \texttt{exp(sin(2*x))}
19: \item \texttt{sinh(x)}
1.2 ! matthew 20: \item \texttt{sin(t)*cos(t)} (\textit{polar plot only})
