    i dont know specifically but all of these can be done using a program called maple

    I think most people use either Maple, Mathematica or Matlab.

    If you are writing a book, I would get a simple graphic calculator share/freeware item that can save graphs as .jpg’s or .gif’s.
    This would be both a simple and adequate solution if you don’t need interactivity.

    I have found several for my mac, but I usually use the “grapher” that comes with the OS. Try a search for your operating system.

    MAPLE will also work if you’re willing to learn some programming.
    So will Matlab, Excel and Mathematica for that matter.

    bye for now.
