php graph an equation

[landt5]

Hi All,

I am struggling with how to graph an equation over its full range. How would one code x squared then call it up to be graphed at each 0.1 increment?

The closest that I have gotten is:

$equ = pow($x,2);

$data = array();

for($x = 0; $x <= 5; $x+.1)$data[ ] = array(' ', $equ);

Thank you All.

Gary

Is this what you're looking for?

<?php

# PHPlot Example: Line graph, 2 lines

require_once 'phplot.php';

# Generate data for:

$end = 5;

$delta = 0.1;

$data = array();

for ($x = 0; $x <= $end; $x += $delta)

  $data[] = array('', $x, pow($x,2));

$plot = new PHPlot(800, 600);

$plot->SetImageBorderType('plain');

$plot->SetPlotType('lines');

$plot->SetDataType('data-data');

$plot->SetDataValues($data);

# Main plot title:

$plot->SetTitle('Line Plot, X Squared');

# Make a legend for the 2 functions:

$plot->SetLegend(array('x^2'));

# Select a plot area and force ticks to nice values:

$plot->SetPlotAreaWorld(0, 0, 5, 25);

# Even though the data labels are empty, with numeric formatting they

# will be output as zeros unless we turn them off:

$plot->SetXDataLabelPos('none');

$plot->SetXTickIncrement(0.5);

$plot->SetXLabelType('data');

$plot->SetPrecisionX(1);

$plot->SetYTickIncrement(2);

$plot->SetYLabelType('data');

$plot->SetPrecisionY(1);

# Draw both grids:

$plot->SetDrawXGrid(True);

$plot->SetDrawYGrid(True);

$plot->DrawGraph();

Thank you Servitor.

I am still fixing some issues with the larger equation that I am using(not x^2).

I appreciate your response and answer.
