Description

This function plots powers of a variable on the interval [0,10].

Usage

powerplot(expr="x^2", xlab="x", ylab="y", ...)

Arguments

expr	Functional form to be plotted
xlab	x-axis label
ylab	y-axis label
...	Further arguments, to be passed to plot()

Details

Other expressions such as "sin(x)" and "cos(x)", etc. could also be plotted with this function, but results are not guaranteed.

Examples

   oldpar <- par(mfrow = c(2, 3), mar = par()$mar - c(
        1, 1, 1.0, 1),  mgp = c(1.5, 0.5, 0),  oma=c(0,1,0,1))
#    on.exit(par(oldpar))
    powerplot(expr="sqrt(x)", xlab="")
    powerplot(expr="x^0.25", xlab="", ylab="")
    powerplot(expr="log(x)", xlab="", ylab="")
    powerplot(expr="x^2")
    powerplot(expr="x^4", ylab="")
    powerplot(expr="exp(x)", ylab="")
par(oldpar)
