SpaceCurve
plot a space curve in R^2 or R^3
Calling Sequence
Parameters
Description
Examples
SpaceCurve(C, t=a..b, opts)
C
-
Vector; specify the components of the curve
t
name; specify the parameter of the curve
a, b
real constants; specify the range of the curve
opts
equation(s) of the form option=value where option is one of caption or Student plot options;
The SpaceCurve(C, t=a..b) calling sequence plots a space curve in R^2 or R^3. The plot is displayed in Cartesian coordinates.
The opts argument can contain any of the Student plot options or caption
caption = string A caption for the plot. The default is Graph of the curve represented parametrically by the components of the given vector. For more information about specifying a caption, see plot/typesetting.
