Piecewise functions

You can now graph piecewise functions, written just like on paper. To create one, start from a template, type cases, or search for piecewise in the Toolbox.

Piecewise functions let you define a function with different expressions over different intervals, and see every branch plotted on the graph.

Display discontinuities

Grapher now displays discontinuities in your curves, so jumps and holes show up where they really are. Inequalities also use open circles for excluded endpoints.

Matrices and vectors

Matrices and vectors are now available! Open the Matrices and vectors tab in the Toolbox to insert one. The template grows as you fill it, and you can use your matrices in calculations.

Duplicate cards

Need a similar card? You can now duplicate any card in one step instead of rebuilding it from scratch.

A smoother math editor

We made several improvements to the math editor:

  • Better exponents: improved position and size for easier reading.
  • Quicker selection: double-click and triple-click now select more of your expression.
  • Smarter pasting: pasted formulas are interpreted correctly, and pasting a table or list creates a data card.

Other improvements and fixes

  • The expand toggle is now a button.
  • A new error page.
  • The Shift icon in the keyboard has been fixed.
  • Cards are no longer reset when dropped into an empty column.
  • Polar curves now load properly when the angle unit is set to degrees.
