Displaying Curves and Surfaces

You use the graph command to display 2D or 3D plots of mathematical functions. Either the explicit or the parametric forms can be plotted. For example

(c2) graph(sin(x),x,[-%pi,%pi, 30]);

displays the curve from to . Your workstation with X window will be able to display the graphics immediately. Do mhelp(graph) at the UNIX shell level for more info.
