However, I would like some further explanation please. If I understand, but I'm not sure at all, calculating (xmax-xmin) / 10 gives the number of points to draw the curve. However, in my example, xmax = 4 and xmin = -2, so (xmax-xmin) / 10 = 0.6. My question is : how do you find the value in 1000 ? ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
