Grapher User Guide

Use Grapher to create 2D and 3D graphs.

1. In the Grapher app on your Mac, choose File > New, then choose the type of graph you want to create.

2. Do any of the following:

   • Add your own equation: Click the Add button in the lower-left corner of the Grapher window, then choose New Equation to create your own equation.

   • Add an equation from a template: Click the Add button in the lower-left corner of the Grapher window, then choose New Equation From Template to add parametric equations, curves equations, vector field equations, or series from templates.

   • Edit an equation: Select an equation in the equations list, then update the equation in the edit field above the graph.

   • Add an element to an equation: Click the Add Elements pop-up menu to the right of the equation field, then choose Show Equation Palette. You use the Equation Palette to add standard elements (exponentiation, roots, and absolute values), operators, Greek letters, and symbols to your equations.

   • Delete an equation: Select the equation in the equations list, then press the Delete key.

Your graph saves automatically as you work.

Grapher is a computer program bundled with macOS since version 10.4 that is able to create 2D and 3Dgraphs from simple and complex equations. It includes a variety of samples ranging from differential equations to 3D-rendered Toroids and Lorenz attractors. It is also capable of dealing with functions and compositions of them. One can edit the appearance of graphs by changing line colors, adding patterns to rendered surfaces, adding comments, and changing the fonts and styles used to display them. Grapher is able to create animations of graphs by changing constants or rotating them in space.

History[edit]

Grapher For Mac Os X 10 11 Download Free

Learn how to use Grapher on your Mac to visualize and analyze implicit and explicit equations. AP Grapher is a freeware program for Mac OS X which searches for nearby wireless (WiFi, Airport) access points and graphs the signal strength as a function of time for the base station you are. When downloaded OS X will extract the file Graph.app in your Download folder. You can just move it to the Applications folder and afterwards start Graph from the Launchpad. GraphBeta-4.5.0.562-2.app.zip (100 MB) The package will run Graph on a Mac with Wine as a compatibility layer. There are currently 1 filename extension(s) associated with the Mac OS X Grapher application in our database. Mac OS X Grapher is capable of opening the file types listed below. Conversion between the file types listed below is also possible with the help of Mac OS X Grapher. You can find more information about it in the application's manual.

Grapher For Mac Os X 10.10

Before Grapher and Mac OS X, Mac OS 9 was bundled with Pacific Tech's Graphing Calculator, a similar program to Grapher that had been included with over 20 million Macintoshes since 1994 with System 7. No versions of Mac OS X prior to Mac OS X v10.4 included a bundled graphing calculator application. On July 22, 2004, Apple bought Arizona Software's 'Curvus Pro X,' and renamed it “Graphing Calculator”, before deciding on “Grapher”. The news was publicly announced on September 15, 2004 at AppleInsider.^[1]

Version 2.0 of Grapher was bundled with Mac OS X v10.5, and version 2.1 with Mac OS X v10.6. It was notable for being one of the few applications bundled with 10.6 to ship without 64-bit support.^[2] As of OS X 10.9, it became a 64-bit application.

Features[edit]

Grapher is a graphing calculator capable of creating both 2D graphs including classic (linear-linear), polar coordinates, linear-logarithmic, log-log, and polar log, as well as 3D graphs including standard system, cylindrical system, and spherical system. Grapher is a Cocoa application which takes advantage of Mac OS X APIs. It also supports multiple equations in one graph, exporting equations to LaTeX format, and comes with several pre-made equation examples. It is one of the few sophisticated graphing programs available capable of easily exporting clean vector art for use in printed documents (although exporting 3D graphs to vector is not possible). Animation of graphs is also supported in both 2D and 3D, generating a QuickTime file.

It is also possible to use the operating system's copy-and-paste feature to copy equations from the application's visual equation editor. By doing so, Grapher functions as something of an equation editor; the user may copy images, EPS, PDF or LaTeX versions of entered equations into other applications. Any equation can be entered and copied; it is not limited to plottable equations.
