Plot your own SVG Math Graphs

NOTE: It appears that you may not be using a compatible browser for this. Please download and install Firefox and come back to this page to see it properly. Firefox (also Chrome, Safari and Opera) can render SVG Graphs successfully, while other browsers (like Internet Explorer) require a plugin.

The following graph is not an image (it's not a .GIF or .JPG). It is a scalable vector graphics text file which is being rendered by your browser as a picture. You can plot 2 functions, function 1 (in blue) and function 2 (in green).

Edit your functions and then click the "Graph it" button below.

Some graphs to try

The grapher will accept any of the following functions (use the notation shown):

• Straight lines: (like 3x - 2)
• Polynomials: (like x^3 + 3x^2 - 5x + 2)
• Any of the trigonometric functions: sin(x), cos(x/2), tan(2x), csc(3x), sec(x/4), cot(x)
• The inverse trigonometric functions: arcsin(x), arccos(x), arctan(x), arccsc(x), arcsec(x), arccot(x).
• The hyperbolic functions and their inverses: sinh(x), cosh(x), tanh(x), arcsinh(x), arccosh(x), arctanh(x)

You can just have one graph if you want - just leave one of the "function" boxes empty.

More Information

The above illustration is an example of vector graphics - images that are made using vectors.
