Hello everyone,

I am working on an economics assignment and need to plot several graphs without need for specifying X or Y axis values. The graph should be able to represent the economic concept behind the math. Is any chance I could do that easily using Inkscape? Any idea?

An example of graph is:

Are you asking if there is an automated way to do it? Like input the mathematical formula and Inkscape draws the graph? Not that I know of. But one certainly could draw the graph "by hand" using Inkscape. I think I might be missing your meaning.... :roll:

I assume you want to just draw graphs like this. I am thinking you don;t want to have to create the X/Y values to plot the graphs in a spreadsheet type program.

Here is a quick version I did in 5 mins:

So I hope that answers your question (yes - you can).
