How to Use the 3D Graphing Calculator
This tool allows you to visualize mathematical functions in three-dimensional space directly in your browser. Simply enter a formula involving variables x and y, define the range for the axes, and click "Plot Graph".
Understanding the Inputs
- Function Formula: Enter the equation to solve for Z. For example,
sin(x) + cos(y). The tool automatically interprets standard math functions. - X/Y Min & Max: These define the domain of the graph. A smaller range zooms in on the origin, while a larger range shows more of the surface.
- Grid Density: Controls how many points are calculated. A lower number (e.g., 0.2) creates a smoother curve but renders slower. A higher number (e.g., 1.0) creates a wireframe look.
- Zoom Scale: Adjusts the visual size of the plot on the canvas.
Supported Math Functions
You can use the following standard JavaScript Math functions in your formula:
- Trigonometry: sin(x), cos(x), tan(x)
- Powers & Roots: pow(x, 2), sqrt(x)
- Constants: PI, e
- Other: abs(x) (absolute value), log(x) (natural logarithm)
