Prev | KmPlot Reference | Next |
KmPlot uses a common way of expressing mathematical functions, so you should have no trouble working it out. The operators KmPlot understands are, in order of decreasing precedence:
The caret symbol performs exponentiation. e.g., 2^4 returns 16.
The asterisk and slash symbols perform multiplication and division . e.g., 3*4/2 returns 6.
The plus and minus symbols perform addition and subtraction. e.g., 1+3-2 returns 2.
Note the precedence, which means that if parentheses are not used, exponentiation is performed before multiplication/division, which is performed before addition/subtraction. So 1+2*4^2 returns 33, and not, say 144. To override this, use parentheses. To use the above example, ((1+2)*4)^2 will return 144.
