Overview:

A parametric equations grapher draws the curve given by the parametric equations x = f(t), y = g(t) by plotting the points (f(t), g(t)) as t varies. In other words, it draws the range of a function p(t) = [f(t), g(t)] on a given domain. Such a graph is called the graph of the parametric equations x = f(t), y = g(t) or the parametric curve represented by the function p(t).
