Plotting a function graph Here, we explain how to plot the graph of a real-valued mathematical function of a single real parameter. ... As in the previous example, we first create a `graph.graphxy` instance passing the width as argument. We then pass a `graph.data.function` instance to the `plot` method of the graph. As first argument, we pass the function in the form "y(x) = f(x)". Here, the left-hand side of the equation defines which parameter is independent (here: `x`) and which one is dependent (here: `y`). We also need to inform PyX about the range of the independent variable. This is done by passing the parameters `min` and `max`. ! In order to increase the resolution of the function graph, you can use the parameter `points` of the `graph.data.function` class to increase the number of sampling points from its default value of `100`. Note that the default graph style for function data is `graph.style.line` synce PyX assumes a continuous x-range. ! You only need to pass the `min` and `max` parameters to the `graph.data.function` class, if PyX cannot figure out an axis range by itself. Thus, an alternative way to achieve the above result would look like g = graph.graphxy(width=8, x=graph.axis.linear(min=-15, max=15)) g.plot(graph.data.function("y(x)=sin(x)/x")) Here, we explicitely define an x-axis range by passing an appropriate argument to the `x` parameter of the `graph.graphxy` class. ! For PyX it does not matter, whether you plot a function of a parameter `x` or a parameter `y`. Thus, you may as well write g.plot(graph.data.function("x(y)=sin(y)/y", min=-15, max=15)) to obtain a plot where the y-coordinate is the independent one.
