Can Grapher plot periodic functions, other than trigonometric ones?
Solution 1:
Yes, indeed it can:
Square wave: try something like
y = (-1)^round(x)
(but with proper formatting). Something likey = (round(x+0.5) - round(x)) - 0.5
would also work.Sawtooth wave: try something like
y = x mod 1
or, more elaborately,y = 2((x-0.5) mod 1) - 1
. However, something likey = x - round(x)
would also work. If you don't like any of these, try something likey = x - floor(x)
.
The triangular wave is left as an exercise to the reader ;-)
Of course, you can also use the truncated Fourier series, but that may be too wiggly for your taste.
