This program takes an equation in the form of z=x+y and graphs it as a three dimentional surface. Enter the equation, or choose from a list, set the viewing angle, and a variety of other options and watch the program draw your graph. You can save any surface you create, as well as customize the graph colors. You can even save your surface as a QuickTime move that changes over time.
Note: Comes in PowerPC and non-PowerPC versions.
