Although specifically designed for working with data, Fathom’s graph objects can also be used as function plots. These plots are especially powerful when the functions are governed by one or more sliders.

1.	Make a new, empty graph by dragging one from the shelf or choosing Object \| New \| Graph.

2.	From the graph’s pop-up menu, choose Function Plot.

3.	Choose Graph \| Plot Function to show the formula editor, and enter the function you want to plot.

4.	Click OK or press Enter or Return to accept the formula and close the formula editor.

By making one or more sliders and using their names in your functions, you make the functions dynamic. Drag the slider and watch the function change. See Plot a Function You Can Vary Dynamically (Using a Slider).

You can add as many functions (or values) as you want to a graph.

Dropping an attribute on a function plot will remove everything plotted on it.
