ParametricPlot

Usage

ParametricPlot[{ ,  }, {u,  ,  }] produces a parametric plot of a curve with  and  coordinates  and  generated as a function of u.
ParametricPlot[{{ ,  }, { ,  }, ... }, {u,  ,  }] plots several parametric curves.


Notes

ParametricPlot evaluates its arguments in a non-standard way (see Section A.4.2). You should use Evaluate to evaluate the function to be plotted if this can safely be done before specific numerical values are supplied.
• The options that can be given for ParametricPlot are the same as for Plot.
ParametricPlot has the default option setting Axes -> True.
ParametricPlot returns a Graphics object.
• See Section 1.9.9.
• See also: ContourPlot.
