  Graphing Equations
Equations can be graphed by pressing the Plot Button on the button pad or Crtl/Cmd + Enter on your keyboard.

You can also use any of the plot functions such as Plot or Plot3D to explicitly define a plot. These functions also except many parameters which allow you to further define the style and colors of the plot.

You can plot multiple graphs by plotting a list of equations as different parameters or as a list of equations.
Plot(sin(x), cos(x))
Plot([sin(x), cos(x)])

When you do not use a plot function, MathStudio automatically detects the type of graph to plot by the variables used. Here is a list of plot types that can be graphed without using a plot function and their default graphing variables.

Function Plots
Variable: x
Function: Plot
Examples: sin(x), cos(x), x^2

Parametric Plots
Variable: u
Function: ParametricPlot
Examples: [cos(u), sin(u)]

Polar Plots
Variable: θ
Function: PolarPlot
Examples: sin(2θ), θ

Fractal Plots
Variables: z, c
Function: FractalPlot
Examples: z^2+c, z^3+c

3D Function Plots
Variables: x, y
Function: Plot3D
Examples: x^2+y^2, cos(x)+sin(y)

3D Parametric Plots
Variables: u, v
Function: ParametricPlot3D
Examples: [(1+0.4cos(v))cos(u), (1+0.4cos(v))sin(u), 0.4sin(v)]

3D Spherical Plots
Variables: θ, Φ
Function: Spherical Plot3D
Examples: θ+Φ

3D Cylindrical Plots
Variables: r, θ
Function: CylindricalPlot3D
Examples: r+θ
