Re: [Axiom-mail] Drawing two curves at once?

[Bill Page]

Alasdair,

You could try something like this:

draws(s,p,t) == (_
  vp:TwoDimensionalViewport:=viewport2D(); _
  for i in 1..#s repeat putGraph(vp,getGraph(draw(s.i,p,t),1),i::PI); _
  makeViewport2D(vp) _
)

draws([sin(x),x-x^3/6],x=-2*%pi..2*%pi,[])

draws([sin(x)^2, cos x], x=-3..3, title=="Example 2")

Regards,
Bill Page.
