Inserting Cartesian Graphs




You can insert a Cartesian graph into a page. You can include the default Cartesian graph or create a graph with customised axes and insert this instead. Once you have inserted the graph, you can add points to it.

NOTE: You can also create quadrant and number line graphs.
