This program is a tool to quickly graph a relatively complex function. It teaches principles such as variable substitution and function composition by encouraging the user to experiment with variables and look at random functions.
f | a function composed of two other functions, g and h. |
x | is the variable on which both g and h depend. |
a and b | two constants for g and h, respectively. |
xmin, xmax, etc. | determine the boundaries of the graph window. |
point size | determines the size of the red dots on the graph. |
point density | determines the distance between the red dots. |
autofit y | allows the program to automatically calculate ymin and ymax. |

Redraw | refreshes the picture |
Random Change | changes one of the variables. |
Reset All Variables | returns the variables to their original values |
