Parametric modelling
2^nd Jun, 2007 at 8:02pm

Does autograph have parametric modelling functions? Because I need to graph y= 2.5t³ -15t². This is supposed to represent the position of an elevator (y) through time (t). I would need autograph to show the elevator's path through time, its velocity and its acceleration. But is this possible? ??? If it is message me Wink

and help an Autograph-newbie out.
