# Chapter 4. Построение графиков

Построение графиков поддерживается только в версии с графическим интерфейсом для GNOME. Все варианты графиков, имеющиеся в графическом интерфейсе, доступны из окна Создать график. Чтобы открыть это окно, нажмите кнопку График на панели инструментов или выберите Нарисовать график из меню Калькулятор. Можно также использовать команды построения графиков языка GEL. Смотрите Chapter 5, Основы GEL, чтобы узнать, как вводить выражения, которые понимает Genius.

## Линейные графики

To graph real-valued functions of one variable, open the Create Plot window. You can also use the `LinePlot` function on the command line (see its documentation). And by the words line plot, we mean plots in the plane, as opposed to surface plots, which are in three dimensions.

После нажатия кнопки График откроется окно с несколькими вкладками. Вам нужна вкладка Линейный график функции, внутри которой следует выбрать вкладку Функции / Выражения. Смотрите Figure 4.1, “Create Plot Window”.

Type expressions with `x` as the independent variable into the textboxes. Alternatively you can give names of functions such as `cos` rather then having to type `cos(x)`. You can graph up to ten functions. If you make a mistake and Genius cannot parse the input it will signify this with a warning icon on the right of the text input box where the error occurred, as well as giving you an error dialog. You can change the ranges of the dependent and independent variables in the bottom part of the dialog. In the boxes for the ranges, simple expressions are allowed, such as `2*pi` or `10^3`. The `y` (dependent) range can be set automatically by turning on the Fit dependent axis checkbox. The names of the variables can also be changed. Pressing the Plot button produces the graph shown in Figure 4.2, “Plot Window”.

The variables can be renamed by clicking the Change variable names... button, which is useful if you wish to print or save the figure and don't want to use the standard names. Finally you can also avoid printing the legend and the axis labels completely, which is also useful if printing or saving, when the legend might simply be clutter.

From here you can print out the plot, create encapsulated postscript or a PNG version of the plot or change the zoom. If the dependent axis was not set correctly you can have Genius fit it by finding out the extrema of the graphed functions.

For plotting using the command line see the documentation of the `LinePlot` function.
