Hey,
Lately I've been doing some stuff where I needed regular plots of periodic curves. (e.g.: the classic sine curve, and up-down (Ws) sawtooths).
It would be cool if Inkscape had a function-generator that could draw simple graphs like this.
I think at some point in the future Inkscape will need to have fully pluggable tools (like Rectangle, Ellipse, Star, etc, that kind of tool).
I'll leave it for others to address your specific request but there are quite a few very similiar feature request already in the tracker, so instead I'll metion some workarounds you might try.
Xfig includes SVG export as do recent version of KiG (KDE Interactive Geometry) both of which are suited to drawing mathematical shapes and curves and you can edit the SVG. There are probably various other programs you could use too.
Sincerely
