Hi there I am quite new to java, however I need to plot a graph in JApplet. I have managed to declare all variables and classes, the equation is working (when compiled on it's own). but all I get is a strait line! can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong please?! in this applet the user will be asked to insert the values for abcd and the min and max values for the x axes
here is my code.......any help will be gratefully appreciated :)
