Plots: display period information
Disclaimer: I'm new to Sage.
Is it possible to indicate the period when plotting periodic functions?
According to my trig book, for example, "you have a graph that has four complete cycles of the sine curve in the space where you would usually find one", as shown here:
f(x)=-2*sin(4*(x+pi/4))+3
plot(f(x),(x,-2*pi,2*pi))
Is there a way to indicate each period? If not, could I approximate it with ticks? Something like:
f(x)=-2*sin(4*(x+pi/4))
P=points([(pi,0),(2*pi,0)], pointsize=40, color='red')
P+plot(f(x),(x,-2*pi,2*pi), ticks=pi/2, tick_formatter=pi)
I'm not sure what about your solution isn't what you want. You can specify arbitrary ticks and the format you chose is correct... maybe I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "indicate the period".
