!Graph/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Graph by D Brock Graph is a powerful and easy-to-use mathematical graphing application. You simply enter the formula you want plotted, click on the Plot button, and a window will open containing the resulting graph. This can then be saved as a Draw file. Using Graph While Graph will run directly from the cover disc, if you want to save the resulting Draw and Log files in the default directory, !Graph.DrawFiles, you will need to dearchive Graph to another disc or your hard drive. To run Graph, simply double-click on its icon in the archive window or on your hard drive. An icon will appear on the icon bar, and you can then click on this icon to open the 'Graph parameter menu' window. Inside this window you can enter the formula for the graph, the X and Y extents and intervals, the number of definition points, and the X-size of the graph. Clicking on the Plot button will then generate the graph. Once the graph has been created, a window will open displaying the graph and the formula used to create it. Clicking Menu over this window provides options to save the graph, magnify it or zoom the display, and 'dynamize' it, so that resizing the window rescales the graph automatically. You can also reload previously saved 'log' files to recreate other graphs. To quit Graph, click Menu on its icon bar icon and select the Quit option.
