This software comes with a dedicated graph section where both 2D and 3D graphs are available. To draw a 2D graph, select the Graph 1 tab from the main interface. In this tab, 10 y(t) functions from y(1) to y(10) are present on the right side of the interface. Fill one or more y(t) functions with the quadratic or other supported equations to immediately get the graphs of respective equations on the XY-plane. Each y(t) function is coded with a different color, so you can quickly identify the graph of a specific equation. At any time, you can change the color of a function from the Graph options. The output graphs do not have any markings, still, you can use point cursor at any point of the graph to view its coordinates.

Similar to 2D graphs, you can easily draw 3D graphs as well by using the 3D graph tab. In this tab, you can enter the quadratic and other equations by accessing the 3D Graph menu > Options. At maximum, you can get the graphs of 6 different equations. Some other settings like the selection of colors, range, and axes can also be changed. After the setup, press OK button to view the 3D graphs. You can easily rotate and pan the graph through mouse to view it from all angles.

The resultant 2D and 3D graphs of the Quadratic equation can be saved as PDF file format.
