Grapher is a graphing utility in CC. It supports multiple functions, it has a nice UI, it has integrated help, and more! (Relevant info below). Please post any bugs you find with it below. (I know the buffer part is poorly coded, I just copied it from another program I made because I was fed up with debugging the graphing code )

Features:
- Supports up to 99 different functions on the same plane
- Colorful and Nice-looking UI
- In-Program Help
- Lua Math Library support
- Support for Grid Movement and Zoom

Hmmm that's weird, can you try it again please? What does it say in specific?

This is awesome!

Wow, thanks !

This is awesome, I briefly tried something like this a while back but couldn't get it to work. Well done!

good job, a few plots missing in the video, but looks very nice

[Symmetryc]

Thanks guys . What do you mean by some plots being gone?

This really looks nice, but Im not quite sure how to use the shortcuts. Do I have to literally write ^H in a function or something? I dont get it.
Also, I wanted get into help because I couldnt get any of my graphs drawn :l

Moved to APIs and Utilities.

The "^" means Ctrl. The help that shows up when you start up the program is the same help that will show up with ^+H though. You hit enter to draw a graph. Thanks!

I've been trying to get implicit equations to work, but I'm not really sure. Anyone math savvy who would like to join forces?

[TheOddByte]

Wow, This is really cool/awesome! +1 for this amazing work!

[Wobbo]

If you mean this: http://en.wikipedia....plicit_function kind of implicit function, that looks like a constraint satisfaction problem to me. In that case, I know of some algorithms to solve this.
If that is what you meant, I would like to join forces. I know quite a bit about math as well.

Yup, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Alright, I'll send you a PM .

I took some time to play with it, and noticed that ^+s is a bad combination to move around the plane, my computer keeps shutting down.

Also, it would be nice if there would be a grapher API that would display graphs on the screen. I could see a gnuplot like program that would use this as a plotting device.

Then don't hold it in, just press it! With the way programs like this detect you pressing ^+s you could actually just press ^ then S a few milliseconds later, CC won't detect it as a 3 second hold for shutdown, but the program will still detect it.

I think he meant it was a bad design choice, which will be corrected in the future.

I knew what he meant. I still don't think its a bad design choice.

It can be confusing for people who don't realize though, so I think I'm just going to replace it with Shift + WASD. That way people can also go into "move only mode" by hitting Caps Lock .
