Free 3D Graphing Software for Spherical Coordinate Graphs

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding free 3D graphing software capable of graphing spherical coordinates, specifically in the form of \(\rho=f(\theta, \phi)\). Participants also inquire about 2D graphing programs for non-elementary functions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks for recommendations for free 3D graphing software for spherical coordinates.
  • Another participant suggests gnuplot as a suitable option and provides a link to its website.
  • A different participant mentions dpgraph as another potential software, noting that it may be available through school licenses.
  • There is a repeated mention of gnuplot, with one participant confirming its functionality for the requested tasks.
  • A participant expresses a further need for a free 2D graphing program that can handle non-elementary functions, such as limits and indefinite integrals.
  • Responses indicate that gnuplot can also address the needs for 2D graphing, with a suggestion to refer to the tutorials for guidance.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on gnuplot as a viable option for both 3D and 2D graphing needs, but the discussion does not resolve the inquiry about other software options or the specific capabilities of dpgraph.

Contextual Notes

Some limitations may exist regarding the availability of software licenses and the specific functionalities of the suggested programs, which are not fully explored in the discussion.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals seeking free software for graphing in three dimensions, particularly in spherical coordinates, as well as those interested in graphing non-elementary functions in two dimensions.

Does anyone know where I can find free 3-Dimensional Graphing software that can graph spherical coordinates (i.e. \rho=f(\theta, \phi ))?

You might be able to use it. My school had a license for it, so I was able to download it. Maybe your school is listed

gnuplot... http://www.gnuplot.info/

This one works... thanks.

I hope I'm not asking for too much but... Does anyone know of a free 2D graphing program that can graph non-elementary functions (i.e. ones that include limits, indefinite integrals, etc.)?
 
Gunplot does all of what you are asking... Look at the tutorials section and you can find out what you need.
