  Plot(expression, ...)
Plots 2D function graphs. This function can also have many additional parameters which are entered in the form of parameter=value.

The following parameters can be set to a single value or a list of values for multiple plots.

alpha
Sets the transparency of the plot from 0 (completely transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). The default value is 1.

color
Sets the color of the plot.

points
Sets the size of the points.

lines
Sets the size of the lines.

style
Set the style of the plot.

The following parameters are used for the graph and can only be set to a single value.

backgroundColor
Sets the background color of the graph.

axisColor
Sets the axis color of the graph.

textColor
Sets the text color of the graph.

gridLines
Sets how many grid lines to show on the graph.

gridColor
Sets the color of the grid lines.

numbers
Sets how many number to show per graph tick. The default setting is 5 which prints a number every 5 graph ticks.

timeStart
The initial value of the time variable. The default value is 0.

timeStep
The step value of the time variable. The default value is 0.1.

Parameters for colors can be set in three different ways.
1) Value between 0 and 1 will create a gray color. For example, color=0.5 will set the color to gray.

2) A list of three values that represent red, green and blue. For example, color=[1,0,0] will set the color to red.

3) Use a named color value. Available named colors are blue, green, yellow, orange, red, magenta, white, gray, black, skyBlue, lightGray, navyBlue, darkGreen, gold, orangeRed, darkRed, purple, deepSkyBlue, brown, darkGray, lightBlue, lightGreen, khaki, coral, chestnut, olive, beige and pink.
