Re: [Inkscape-devel] Two function plotters?

The "function plotter" is meant to be a more general plotter than "wavy". "wavy" let's you specify the x-range in multiples of pi, which is very convenient for plotting periodic functions. "function plotter" does not let you do this which can be annoying. I'd like to keep them separate, but we can also merge them by adding for example a checkbox to "function plotter" to multiply the x-range by 2pi.
Yes, I think such a checkbox would be a good idea. Can you please do it, and then we can retire the Wavy.

Hmm after a little more thought: one could just write sin(2*pi*x) instead of sin(x), since the constant pi is available in the function description (I tested it, and it works fine). So I can safely remove Wavy, without any changes to funcplot.

Yes, but why not make it easier for the user? What you propose requires some thinking and is inconvenient if you have a complex function that uses x more than once.

Agreed! Funcplot has been upgraded with this 'times 2 pi' option.
