I'm trying to plot a graph of the function y=1-(x)exp2 (just an example....don't take too literally)

x starts at an arbitrary value. The resulting y gives the first point on the graph.

The y value from the previous step is fed back into the function as if it were x. The resulting y gives the second point on the graph.

This process is repeated over, say, one hundred thousand steps.

Obviously, a spreadsheet can calculate the numbers. However, the spreadsheet graphing function isn't good enough to produce a decent graph.

How can I plot my graph on-screen in super-high quality, please? :confused:

or if you want to spend money...

Many thanks Memetic! :ok:

One link has uncovered an interesting 3D graphing download (30 day trial) which will (literally) add another interesting dimension!
