A math curve chart plots mathematical equation curves that are based on user-entered
expressions.
Creating a simple math curve chart
- In the Chart Type section, click the Math curve
icon.
The canvas updates to display a math curve chart template.
- Enter a starting value for the X-axis in the X value starts from field.
- Enter an ending value for the X-axis in the X value ends with field.
- Enter an equation that plots the graph curve in the
equations field. Click Add another column to include
more equations.Each equation treats
as an independent variable. The following equations are allowed.x
+, -, *, /, %, and ^
abs(x)
ceil(x)
floor(x)
log(x)
max(a,b,c...)
min(a,b,c...)
random()
round(x)
sqrt(x)
sin
cos
exp
tan
atan
atan2
asin
acos
- Click the Save visualization in the project control. Select Create a new asset or Append to existing asset. Provide a Visualization asset name, an optional description, and a chart name.
- Click Apply to save the visualization to the project. The new visualization asset is now available on the Assets tab.
