Build parametric paths and polar graphs on iPad.
Choose the graph type that matches the mathematics, enter the required fields, set a useful domain, and inspect the resulting path without forcing it into Y=f(x).

When should you use parametric or polar graphing?
Parametric mode is designed for a path defined by paired x(t) and y(t) expressions over a parameter interval. Polar mode uses a radius expression over an angular domain.
Both modes can be framed with graph controls and inspected as plotted geometry; supported temporal variants add playback when the parameter changes with time.
Choose the representation before entering the equation.
- 1
Change the graph type
Open the expression row's graph type control and choose Parametric 2D or Polar instead of an ordinary function.
- 2
Enter the required fields
For a parametric path, enter x(t) and y(t). For a polar graph, enter the radius expression in the supported angular variable.
- 3
Set the domain
Choose parameter or angle bounds that cover the part of the path you want to study.
- 4
Frame and inspect
Use Window, Fit, Zoom, and supported trace controls to examine the visible path.
Try a concrete case.
A circular parametric path
Use cosine and sine as paired coordinates over a full interval.
- x(t) = cos(t)
- y(t) = sin(t)
A polar curve
Enter a radius expression and adjust the angular domain so the complete shape is visible.
