This section is designed to highlight one or two features per issue that may be overlooked because they
are not made visually obvious with a toolbar button.
If you haven't already used the Micro-Cap 11 Calculator you'll be surprised at some of the new
capabilities. In addition to doing complex math and derivatives, it can now plot 2D and 3D
expressions. Here is one example, a three-dimensional plot of the SINC function.
SIN(X)/X*SIN(Y)/Y
Enter an expression using only X and it will draw a 2-dimensional plot. Enter an expression using
X and Y and it will draw a 3-dimensional plot. You can let it auto scale or you can control the
scales manually. You can rotate the 3D plot by clicking the right mouse button and dragging the
mouse.
Here is a 2-dimensional plot of SIN(X)*EXP(PI*X)/X
Here is another 3D plot illustrating the Z-Axis clipping.
