Cool Graphs of Implicit Relations

Published by patrick honner on

This is a cool collection of graphs of relations using software called GrafEq:

For example, at the right is the graph of

e^{sinx + cosy} = sin(e^{x+y}).

There are several other cool graphs displayed here.

It is worth noting that Wolfram Alpha can graph these relations, too.  For example, here is the above equation:; while Wolfram Alpha captures the spirit of the graph, the image is not as detailed or attractive as the GrafEq version.

doesn’t work anymore. Is there a new place to see these graphs? I loved that app!

    Hi LaDawn-

    Thanks for letting me know. A quick search led me to this:

    It looks like the same program, though I’m not sure.
