\maketitle

Use \verb! \graph{y=x^2} ! to graph a parabola:
\[ \graph{y=x^2} \]

You can include multiple graphs, as in \verb! \graph{ y=x^{1/3}, y = \sqrt{x} } !

\[\graph{ y=x^{1/3}, y = \sqrt{x} } \]

You can include options to specify the behavior of desmos, as in
\verb! \graph[height=250,panel,xmin=-5,xmax=5,ymin=-1,ymax=10,hideXAxis,yAxisLabel=y] {y=x^2,m=2,y=mx+3 } !

\[ \graph[height=250,panel,xmin=-5,xmax=5,ymin=-1,ymax=10,hideXAxis,yAxisLabel=y] {y=x^2,m=2,y=mx+3 } \]

or a more polar example: \verb! \graph[polar,height=250,panel,xmin=-12,xmax=12,ymin=-1,ymax=10] {r=\theta} !

\[ \graph[polar,height=250,panel,xmin=-12,xmax=12,ymin=-1,ymax=10] {r=\theta} \]

Here are the supported options in the first revision:

\begin{enumerate}
\item \texttt{panel} - display the expression panel expanded by default
\item \texttt{polar} - display the polar grid (constant values of $r$ and $\theta$), instead of rectangular ($x$- and $y$- axes)
\item \texttt{xmin=, xmax=, ymin=, ymax= } - set the viewing window
\item \texttt{height} - set the height of the graph in pixels
\item \texttt{xAxisLabel=} - place a label near the left of the screen, by the $x$-axis
\item \texttt{yAxisLabel=} - place a label near the top of the screen, by the $y$-axis
\item \texttt{hideXAxis} - hide the x-axis, the x-axis label, and the x-axis numbers
\item \texttt{hideYAxis} - hide the y-axis, the y-axis label, and the y-axis numbers
\item \texttt{hideXAxisNumbers} - hide the x-axis numbers
\item \texttt{hideYAxisNumbers} - hide the y-axis numbers
\end{enumerate}
