I figured out how to make my calculator draw a lightsaber(b&w, of course) in class today.

Set your Y-values to:

1. sin(X)(X<2)
2. sin(X-[pi])(X<2)
3. sin(2X)(X<2)
4. sin(2X-[pi])(X<2)
5. 2sin(.5X)(X<2.5)
6. 2sin(.5X-[pi])(X<2.5)
7. 2sin(4X)(X<0)
8. 2sin(4X-[pi])(X<0)
9. .5(X>2)
0. .5(X>2)

Push GRAPH and go get a cup of coffee or whatever while it renders. Make sure your screen is set to standard zoom. I'm working on one that looks good from zoomed out twice as far, but it's not done yet.

Okay, v2:

1. sin(X)(X<2)(X>-10)
2. sin(X-[pi])(X<2)(X>-10)
3. sin(2X)(X<2)(X>-10)
4. sin(2X-[pi])(X<2)(X>-10)
5. 2sin(.5X)(X<2.5)(X>-10)
6. 2sin(.5X-[pi])(X<2.5)(X>-10)
7. 2sin(4X)(X<0)(X>-10)
8. 2sin(4X-[pi])(X<0)(X>-10)
9. .5(X>2)
0. .5(X>2)

Should work on any graphing calculator.

Dang! EasyCalc on my Palm only has up to 6 lines...

I'll test this on my TI-83+ Silver Edition later this week, when I have Calc.
