3D Range

Range parameters differ significantly depending on the equation mode, (Polar vs. Euclidean).

  • Euclidean -

    • x min and x max - The minimum and maximum x values to plot. Typical values would be -5 to 5.

    • y min and y max - The minimum and maximum y values to plot. Typical values would be -5 to 5.

    • x intervals - The number of intervals along the range of x to plot. The intervals are the primary determining factor of how long it takes to graph an equation. Older computers would are advised to keep this value to a reasonable number like 50. New computers shouldn't have too much trouble with 150.

    • y intervals - The number of intervals along the range of y to plot. The intervals are the primary determining factor of how long it takes to graph an equation. Older computers would are advised to keep this value to a reasonable number like 50. New computers shouldn't have too much trouble with 150.

  • Polar -

    • r min and r max - The minimum and maximum radius to plot. Typical values would be 0 to 5.

    • t min and t max - The minimum and maximum theta values to plot. If you are in radian mode, you'll usually want 0 to 2pi. If you are in degree mode, you'll usually want 0 to 360.

    • r intervals - The number of intervals along the range of the radius to plot. The intervals are the primary determining factor of how long it takes to graph an equation. Older computers would are advised to keep this value to a reasonable number like 50. New computers shouldn't have too much trouble with 150.

    • t intervals - The number of intervals along the theta range to plot. The intervals are the primary determining factor of how long it takes to graph an equation. Older computers would are advised to keep this value to a reasonable number like 50. New computers shouldn't have too much trouble with 150.
