Thus, only the number of graphs you have specified for AutoRedraw will be redrawn automatically after changing to or from log paper. Usually, all of the graphs on it are redisplayed as well, but when you switch to or from log paper, the shapes of the graphs change also, so they must be recalculated. When you change the style of graph paper, the screen is redrawn immediately. Remember that even with Draw Axes turned off, legends may still be displayed along the invisible axes unless you turn them off independently using the Legends option.

Will not appear unless Draw Axes is checked also. If you prefer a grid with less decoration, you can turn some of them off: Draw Borderĭraw x and y axes when they are on-screenĭraw arrows in the positive direction at the end of the axes. By default all of these options are selected. You can control the following 'decorative' aspects of the graph paper using the check boxes in the lower-right corner of the dialog box. Same as the above, except the lines are solid Show dots where the gridlines would crossĭashed lines like real graph paper this is the default You can also control the level of detail of the grid on your graph paper. Otherwise, the graph paper will look just like normal, with gridlines at integer powers of the base. If you are using base 10, you will see 9 lines per decade just like real graph paper if there is enough space to display them (generally when less than four decades are shown). You can set the base and switch between semi-log and log-log using the Log Options tab.

Logarithmic Scales one or both axes logarithmically, so that, for instance, 0.1, 1, and 10 are equally spaced. Select by marking the Trig paper radio button. Trig paper Rectangular grid, but x-axis is marked in multiples of pi to make it easier to work with trigonometric functions. (Note that polar and rectangular paper look the same when you set the grid detail level to none.) Select by marking the Polar radio button. The traditional choice for polar and some parametric graphs. Polar paper Lined with radiating circles and straight lines at angles of +/- pi/6 and pi/3 (i.e. But you can easily switch between styles using the Graph Paper item under the Options menu.īesides the default rectangular coordinate paper, you can also select the following styles: Since Graphmatica allows you to put equations of all types on the screen at once, it does not attempt to guess what kind of graph paper you prefer for each graph you enter. Graphmatica provides several styles of background graph paper to enhance the different types of graphs it can draw. Graphmatica Help - Changing the Graph Paper
