graphing calculator

Anyone have an OSX graphing calculator app like the one that came with
OS9 (http://www.pacifict.com/FreeStuff.html)?
I didn't find anything at download.com
Any recommendations?
Thanks,

GW

I'm not familiar with earlier Mac applications, however the calculator
that comes with OX X (10.3 at least) appears to have an (undocumented)
2D graphic facility. Check
/Applications/Calculator.app/Contents/Resources which should have a file
Graphing-2D.calcview put into it. Put that (and any other interesting
calcviews like the hex one) into the Plugins directory (sorry, folder).

If I go into the Applications folder, I see th calculator, but no
directories, just the App.
On another note, I found a cool program called Q Graph at
Versiontracker.com that is a little slow, but works well.

Sorry. I got to it using Terminal, because I don't have much experience
with Macs (yet). In Finder you have to Ctrl Click (or right click) on
the Calculator application. In the context menu there will be an item
that says something like Show Package Contents. That will let you see
what the application's folder really contains.

Re: graphing calculator

"Q Graph" is much better than the (now) included 2-D graph function.
