Class TangentLine

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Computable, java.io.Serializable

    public class TangentLine
    extends DrawGeometric
    A Tangent line is a line that is tangent to the graph of a specified function of one argument at a specified value of its argument. If added to a CoordinateRect, it will appear as a line. A TangentLine is a Computable object, so should be added to a Controller to be recomputed when the Value or Function changes.
