Of the graphs pictured above, only two make use of anything beyond lines. There are deeper ways to control the regions that can be shaded in this way, but for now I’ll just point out that it’s something that one can do. The shading will be more translucent than the lines that one can make in Desmos, such that shaded regions can overlap.
That is to say if you have an equation like y>x, Desmos will shade in the region for which this is true, in this case the space above the line. Method 1: Shadingĭesmos is primarily designed as a graphing calculator, and as such supports inequalities. The rest of this post will be dedicated to exploring those. If you want to shade in your piece of graph art, there are a few techniques I’m aware of that you could use. That I can’t fix, but the fact that these are all fairly bland pieces of line art is something I can offer help with. Nobody really cares all that much about Desmos graph art, so it would make sense if nobody saw that much reason to make more substantial graph art. I have no idea why all that the Desmos staff ever picks seems to be mediocre line art. This is a deeper issue that deserves another post entirely.Īll that said, there’s still one aspect that’s setting each of these graphs back in a big way. The bunny, Winnie, and Rick are all marred my the fact that they’re just tracings of other images. This is probably just because the creator wasn’t going for detail and probably didn’t know many more equations than those, but the point that it looks bad still stands. More specifically, Drumset is made entirely out of oddly utilized conics, that is parabolas and ellipsoids and such, that make the perspective look really screwed up. Project and Drumset both have something clearly off about them, in a way that doesn’t necessarily look intentional. Why this person chose purple and red I will never understand. I suspect this is just because they didn’t know that they could change the colors on the functions when making a graph, but the result of having terrible colors is still what happens. Violin, the shoe, Harry, and Disney Castle are all composed of lines that use the default colors that you get when making functions in Desmos. As I’m writing this, the graph art page is this:įirst weird color choices. I want to talk about a big problem with the latter of the two, namely it’s bias toward bad line art, and offer a few solutions.įirst a bit of context. The staff picked graphs fall into two categories namely, “Math Examples” and “Creative Art”. Desmos the tool is an online graphing calculator, Desmos the site is a page that links to the calculator portion and a few other pages that cover graphs that the Desmos staff found notable.
