You can draw many kinds of graphs by setting function such as y=f(x), x=f(y), x=f(t) and y=g(t), f(x,y)=0, pole equation. (In the Lite version, we support only "y=f(x)" and command "Line") MOVE GRAPHS! This is the greatest feature of this app! We prepared "m" as an invariable. You can change the value continuously and see the graph moving. Using this feature, you can see many interesting moves, such as simple oscillation, cycloid curve, synthesis of waves.
