Hi,
i am a little stuck here. I have to plot some functions in one coordinate system, whithin two parallelels to the y-axis.
for example if I want to plot x = 0.0075, x = 0.4 and f (x) = 4x +5 in one system, how should I proceed. The function f(x) is no problem, but i cant get Mathcad to plot x=0.4 and so on...
I use mathcad 14th
thanks a lot,
Peter
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Peter,
2 ways to add markers.
Easy way is to right click on the graph, select format from the pop-up menu and then tick the Show markers checkbox for either/both X & Y axes. click OK to finish.
On the graph now you should have 2 small black squares (placeholders) on the selected axes.
select one of them and enter the numberr you need.
Slightly harder way is:
If you want to add a horizontal line to a simple X-Y plot, seletct the Y-axis function place holder type a ',' (Comma) which should give you a new placeholder that allows a second trace to be added to the plot.
In this place holder type a value (say 0.4) and for a simple graph it should show a secondary line.
To add a vertical line, the same procedure will work on the X-axis placeholder.
You may need to add aa second (matching) entry on the Y-axis , MathCad does its best but once you start adding multiple graphs onto one plot it can get confused.
E.g. the Y-axis place holder will contain "f(x),y" and the X-axis "x,0.4"
Hope this makes sense.

NB: it usually helps to add you work sheet so that we can try to understand where the specific sticking point is.

Hi Andy,
i just tried what you said.
The version with the makers is working quite well, but its limitet to two makers per axis. The second version is the one i tried to get working on my own but the promlem is this graph isn't going the whole way up and down.

Hi Peter,
the graph usually manages to get it right & fill the width (or height) but if (as in your case) it doesn't,
you can force the range that it plots by creating a range variable.
As the information above , before the graph , define the variable y as "y:-40;60" or "Y:-40,-39;60"
Set the end point to suit your graph.
This will force mathcad to plot a range that you want.
Regards
Andy
Thanks a lot
now it's all working!
We can have in Mathcad Prime a lot of parallel to the y-Axis
It is one why I like Mathcad Prime!
