Those that have 10.4 may have noticed in the Utilties folder an application called Grapher - I assume this is the rumoured 2D and 3D function plotter. I...

"Grapher" used to be Curvus Pro before Apple purchased it. It does some things that GC doesn't do (see their demo of Lorentz attractors and their examples of...

How do I type comments in the math pane? I can't find anything in any menu and I've run out of guesses for keyboard shortcuts. I'm using GC 3.5 for Mac OSX...
Brian (and Craig), I'm very disappointed in Apple about this. I'm trying to get a friend who is a successful consultant to struggling businesses involved in ...
... Here's a file that shows one way to do it. You can change the value of the constant "d" to change the width of the tick marks. I've placed a copy of the...
Chris- I agree with the sentiment, but isn't the horse out of the barn already? In some ways, it may even be better for Graphing Calculator that it wasn't...
I was talking to a fairly high-up sales guy at Apple and he managed to convince me that they actually take clearly-stated, sensible feedback from customers...
I put up a couple things I've done, in hopes of sparking some uploading. I'd like to pitch the software to my department (I teach math at a Community...
Hello, Is anyone on this list at a school with a 1:1 laptop program? I'm curious about the software policies after reading: http://www.kasd.org/web121/faq.html...
Has anyone tried to graph the classic surface of Revolution problems from Calculus using GC? It seems like one should be able to see the region in the x-y...
... I'm not sure exactly what the equation your graphing here is. I got a general formula for parameterized curves out of the book "Modern Differential...
... Maybe the following is more what you wanted. It shows a revolving "slice" going around inside the surface of revolution. Also uploaded to Files > Calculus,...

Chris- You do fine work, sir. Those files you posted recently illustrating surfaces of revolution do a wonderful job of showing off Graphing Calculator....
My latest efforts to understand parameterized 3D surfaces. Trying to keep it simple, just rotates a parabola around to form a surface of revolution and uses...
I fixed a problem witht the latitudes not getting reset properly when the function definition was changed. You still have to figure out the inverse function to...
Fixed the previous file so range setting of x works right. Now you can have a hollow core in the middle as the whole thing is traced out by the profile region....
Here's a 3D tetrahedron in a cube, for Graphing Calculator 3.5. Shows how with some work GC can be an amazing tool for teaching solid geometry. I'm trying to...
A tetrahedron centered on origin, faces and edges colored to show its structure. Rotatable and translatable via sliders. Trying to figure out how to put cube...
Ron, Don't know if I've said so yet, but GC for OS X is an absolutely amazing piece of work! Thank you again and congratulations. I notice I can usually use...
I have volunteered in the middle school for several years and see GC as a way to interest and excite many students. In so keeping I have been working on a...

I'll second Chris' comments. A local IT person asked me why I wanted GC in one of my classrooms -- which they haven't gotten around to yet, but never mind --...
Arne, ... First, go to our web site at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GraphingCalcUsers/?yguid=54088085 On the left you'll see the "Files" link. Click on this. ...
Arne, Re the tip on uploading files, you're welcome. I liked your file with the cone emptying into the bin. A good realistic way to introduce volume concepts. ...
... Well, if you check the times I posted my files, you'll see that's where a lot of my nights for the past 10 years or so have gone. Maybe GC should have a...
Ron and GCers: I'm still having trouble getting a shadow of the moving patch, as it "morphs" from inital position to final position. I can project a patch ...
