EdenGraph is on par with GraphingCalculator from PacTech - gslusher

This is not even close to Graphing Calculator. It's like comparing a pair of roller skates to a 767. Graphing Calculator 3 does a lot more than EdenGraph (the free version that came with Macs did many, though not all, of these functions):

- 2D and 3D graphs--and 3D representations of 4D functions.

- Multiple functions on the same graph;

- parameters defined as variables, not as numbers, so you can change the parameter easily (e.g., y=mx + b, where you define m and b separately--and can make either a "slider" that can be changed dynamically.)

- animated sliders to change parameters;

- Use polar, cylindrical, or spherical coordinates, as well as Cartesian coordinates;

- Evaluate equations symbolically, including derivatives and integrals;

- piecewise functions;

- implicit functions (e.g., x^2/a + y^2/b = 1 will give you an ellipse);

- parametric curves;

- contour plots;

- density plots;

- inequalities;

- vectors;

- vector fields;

- complex functions and surfaces;

- color maps;

and a lot more.

EdenGraph isn't even close to Graphing Calculator--even the free version. The free version does 2D and 3 D graphs, allows changing (even animated) parameters, graphs inequalities, allows polar coordinates, allows multiple functions on one graph, and more. The paid version multiplied that by maybe 50: 2D, 3D, and 3D-represenations of 4-D graphs; implicit functions; complex functions; vectors; vector fields; density charts; cylindrical and spherical coordinates; evaluate integrals and derivatives; and on an on. Comparing EdenGraph to Graphic Calulator is like comparing a set of screwdrivers to a full tool box (the free version of Graphic Calculator) or a complete machine shop (paid version of Graphic Calculator).
