Don't forget that the sampling theorem (known as Nyquist or Shannon
theorem,
I suppose that most official name is now: Whittaker-Kotelnikov-Shannon
theorem) is about an uniform-sampled representation of time-continous
signal, which can be perfectly (and uniquely) reconstructed from samples.
If don't like playing with a signal reconstruction/interpolation but only
want to use samples to make a plot I always say - use at least 10 samples
for signal period (that is 5 points for a half sine) to get a sensible
figure.
