Math curve charts
A math curve chart plots mathematical equation curves that are based on user-entered expressions.

Creating a simple math curve chart

  1. In the Chart Type section, click the Math curve icon.

    The canvas updates to display a math curve chart template.

  2. Enter a starting value for the X-axis in the X value starts from field.
  3. Enter an ending value for the X-axis in the X value ends with field.
  4. Enter an equation that plots the graph curve in the equations field. Click Add another column to include more equations.
    Each equation treats x as an independent variable. The following equations are allowed.
    • +, -, *, /, %, 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
  5. Click the Save visualization in the project control to save the visualization to the project. You can select to also Create a new asset from the visualization, provide a visualization asset name, description, and chart name.
  6. Click Apply to save the visualization to the project. The new visualization asset is now available under the Assets tab.
