• Supports various mathematical functions and constants.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 18
• Maven 3.6+

Build from Source

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/entity-destroyed/Graph-Visualizer-Swing.git
   cd graph-visualizer-swing

2. Build the project using Maven:

   mvn clean install

3. Run the application:

   java -jar target/Graph_Visualizer_Swing-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Usage

1. Launch the application.
2. Choose an option: New empty pane, or Load previous.
   • If you have chosen New empty pane, now click Add new.
3. Enter a mathematical expression in the input field (e.g., sin(x), x^2 + 3*x - 2).
4. Hit enter to visualize the graph.

Configuration

Configuration options are defined in the config.properties file. Here are the adjustable parameters:

• g.step: The step interval for graph calculations (e.g., 0.1).
• g.scale: The scale factor for rendering the graph (e.g., 10).
• g.begin: The starting value of the range (e.g., -50).
• g.end: The ending value of the range (e.g., 50).

Example config.properties:

g.step=0.1
g.scale=10
g.begin=-50
g.end=50
