FŨNKPLOT’S LANGUAGE

OUR EXPERT
The programming language used by Fũnkplot is heavily influenced by the simplicity of the BASIC language, with some syntax borrowed from Pascal. This hopefully makes it easy to learn and use even for those who haven’t had a formal education in advanced-level programming, while also including notions to handle complex mathematical concepts effortlessly. The language is designed to resemble a natural language, offering a decent level of verbosity for ease of understanding. Because a lot of scientific programming is currently being done in Python, there is also the possibility to embed short Python blocks into the plotting code, although this feature is still experimental. If you want a more in-depth look at the language, a guide to these examples can be found here: http://funkplot.sh/amalgamated.html

Ferenc Deák was upset when we told him we had to draw the line at his recitation of mathematical formulae every time we spoke to him. Still it inspired this useful tutorial.

There is a high chance that at a certain point during their career, every aspiring T mathematician reaches a stage where a need to draw something programmatically comes up. Fortunately for them, there’s a huge number of tools that are meant to do exactly this, helping them plot lines, shapes, functions and other mathematical data.
