Mathematica Plotting Mathematica - Why is this Happening?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion addresses issues with plotting in Mathematica, specifically regarding the use of ImplicitPlot. It highlights the importance of using the correct syntax, particularly the angled quotes, and suggests ending command lines with a semicolon to suppress output. Users are informed that ImplicitPlot is obsolete as of Mathematica 8, and that ContourPlot should be used instead for similar functionality. The conversation emphasizes the need for correct commands to avoid errors in plotting. Proper syntax and updated functions are crucial for effective plotting in Mathematica.

For starters, the call for Implicit plot should be

Code:
<< Graphics `ImplicitPlot`

Note that the "quotes" are angled differently (you should be using the key right next to 1 on the top of your keyboard; it gives ` instead of '). I would also recommend ending command lines with ; if you don't want them to individually appear once you execute them (i.e. it hides the output).

Also, ImplicitPlot is obsolete in Mathematica 8; the ContourPlot option does what ImplicitPlot used to do. Here's what I get now:
