Drawing a curve

[Paul Herber]

I am trying to draw a curve, specifically a curve similar to what would
result from the graph of x cubed or tan x. I am using Vision 2003.

I cannot find adequate help on this topic. I search for how to use the
pencil and freeform tools but there is nothing relevant.

Does anyone know of a tutorial on how to use these tools?

Or perhaps more sepcifically, how to add a control point (not connetction
point) to the line I create with the pencil or freeform tool?

Have a look at

There are graphs of various mathematical functions.

Perfect!

If only I had Visio 2007... :-(

The shapes work fine in Visio 2003

Hmmm... When I opened the vsd files they are blank; just an empty page.

I opened about half a dozen and none of them have a stencil sheet and the
sheet name has a chineese character in the name.

I downloaded the individiual vsd files rather than the zip file so maybe I
am missing something. I will continue to look at this.

PS The download page said the vsd files were for Visio 2007; it made no
mention of earlier versions so I assumed it was a compatibility issue.

I only downloaded the page and not the associated stencils. Now that I have
downloaded everything, it all works fine.

These are fantastic! ...just what I needed. I had created some primative
shapes for plane geometry pfoofs but these are much more sophisticated and
functional and diverse.

Thanks very much for pointing these out. And also thanks to whoever at
Microsoft thought these up and made them avaiable. They really did an
excellent job.
