The 'Graphic Plotter' element is a graphic plotter to plot mathematics or scientific function onto your form. You can define the color of the function and pen width respectively. The graphic plotter can plot the following mathematics functions in Y function of x, Y = f(x):-

• SIN(X),
• COS(X),
• TAN(X),
• LOG(X),
• EXP(X),
• 3^8,
• SQRT(X)
• ABS(X)
• SINH(X)
• COSH(X)
• TANH(X)
• +,-,*,/, ( ),
• PI

The followings are the example of the mathematics formulas plotted by the graphic plotter.

• x^2-x
• 5*x^0.5-x^(1.5)
• -(5*x^0.5-x^(1.5))
• exp(0.2*x)*cos(x)
• 8*sin(x)/x
• x/Cos(x)
• cosh(x)
• tan(x)
• abs(x)

Graph Legend

Formula - F(x)
Input the function of x into the formula box that will be plotted on the graph. You can input numbers of function together and plot simultaneously on the same graph. For the FORMachine ® Std Version, you can maximum plot four functions. For the FORMachine ® Pro Version, you can plot more than 4 functions.

 

XMin:
Define the minimum value of X of the graph.

XMax:
Define the maximum value of X of the graph.

XStep:
Define the step or grid value of X of the graph.

YMin:
Define the minimum value of Y of the graph.

YMax:
Define the maximum value of Y of the graph.

YStep:
Define the step or grid value of Y of the graph.

AutoXSize:
Set value of XMin and XMax automatically.

AutoYSize:
Set value of YMin and YMax automatically.
