Today, even the most basic Windows applications such as Alarm, Clock, and Calculator are designed to let you perform a number of varying tasks in addition to the obvious chores. In the Calculator app, a new mode was made available to all users in the May 2020 build of Windows 10. As the name implies, it can be used to plot equations on a graph and analyze functions. This graphing mode is quite helpful if you are a student or an employee making presentations, especially if your career is in mechanical and architectural streams. Although, for most users, the graphing mode is greyed out or disabled by default. It thus needs to be enabled manually. Today, we will teach you how to enable or disable Calculator Graphing Mode in Windows 10.
How to Enable Calculator Graphing Mode in Windows 10
The Calculator application itself has vier verschillende modi built into it along with a bunch of converters.
- De eerste heet de Standard-modus which will let you perform basic arithmetic calculations.
- Volgende is de Wetenschappelijke modus which allows advanced calculations with the use of trigonometric functions and exponents.
- Het wordt gevolgd door een Programmeur modus: for performing programming-related calculations.
- And finally, the new Graphing mode to plot equations on a graph.
Why Enable Graphing Mode in Calculator?
- Het helpt je om visualize the concept of Algebraic equations like functions, polynomials, quadratics.
- It allows you to work on parametric & polar graphing which is hard to draw on paper.
- In Trigonometry functions, it helps you to figure out amplitude, period, and phase shift.
- In programming, if your projects are based on data sets and spreadsheets, you can rely on this for accurate data.
Enabling graphing mode in the calculator application is actually a very easy task and involves editing either Group Policy Editor or Windows Registry. Both of these applications store important settings pertaining to Windows OS and its applications, so be extremely careful when following the steps to avoid prompting any errors or damaging your system altogether. In this article, we have detailed two different ways to enable Calculator Graphing Mode in Windows 10 and also provided a basic walkthrough of the model at the end.

2. klikken Over in het linkerdeelvenster.
3. Controleer de Windows-specificaties pagina.
Step II: Enable or Disable Calculator Graphing Mode in Windows 10
1. Raken Windows + R-toetsen gelijktijdig openen lopen dialoog venster.
2. Type gpedit.msc En klik op de knop OK knop om te starten Editor voor lokaal groepsbeleid.
3. Ik moet User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Calculator in the left pane by clicking on the pijlpictogram at the side of each folder.
4. Klik op Allow Graphing Calculator entry in the right pane. Then, select the beleidsinstelling optie gemarkeerd weergegeven.
5. Klik op het ingeschakeld keuzerondje en klik Solliciteer om de wijzigingen op te slaan.
Opmerking: If you haven’t previously altered the entry, it will be in niet geconfigureerd state, by default.
6. Close down all the programs and perform a systeem opnieuw opstarten.
7. Uw Rekenmachine app will show Graphing option once your PC boots back on.
Opmerking: To disable graphing calculator on Windows 10 computer, select invalide optie Stap 5.

Method 2: Through Registry Editor
If for some reason you weren’t able to enable the graphing mode from the group policy editor, editing the Windows registry will also do the trick. Follow the given steps to enable or disable Calculator graphing mode on Windows 10 PCs:
1. Klik op Starttype regedit, en klik op Openen lanceren register-editor.
2. Paste the following location pad in the address bar and hit the Enter sleutel.
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesCalculator
Opmerking: It is quite possible you did not find the Calculator folder. You will therefore need to create one manually. Right-click on Policies en klik op New gevolgd door sleutel. Name the key as Rekenmachine.
Opmerking: If the Calculator key was already present on your PC, chances are the StaGraphingCalculator toe value also exists. Otherwise, you will again need to manually create the value.
3. Klik met de rechtermuisknop op de blank space. Klik Nieuw > DWORD (32-bits)-waarde. Noem de waarde as StaGraphingCalculator toe.
4. Klik nu met de rechtermuisknop op StaGraphingCalculator toe en klik op wijzigen.
5. Type 1 voor Waarde data: to enable the feature. Click on OK opslaan.
6. Verlaat de register-editor en restart uw pc.
Opmerking: If you wish to disable Graphing mode in the future, change the Waarde op naar 0 in Stap 5.
How to Use Calculator Graphing Mode
Step I: Access Graphing Mode
1. Open de Rekenmachine toepassing.
2. Klik op het hamburger (three horizontal lines) icon present at the top-left corner.
3. In the ensuing menu, click on Graphing, zoals getoond.
4. Within a split second, you will be greeted with an lege grafiek on the left pane and a familiar-looking calculator numeric pad on the right, as shown below.

Step II: Plot Equations
1. invoeren vergelijkingen (bv x +1, x-2) on the top right fields for f1 & f2 fields, zoals afgebeeld.
2. Simply, hit Enter on your keyboard after typing out the equation to plot it.
3. Hover the mouse pointer over the plotted line om de te ontvangen exacte coördinaten of that point, as illustrated below.
Step III: Analyze Equations
Apart from plotting equations, the graphing mode can also be used to analyze equations, although not all of them. To check the functional analysis of an equation, click on the bliksem icoon ernaast.

Step IV: Change the Style of the Plotted line
1. Klik op het verfpalet icoon te openen Line Options.
2A. This will let you change the style of the plotted line as:
2B. Select the Kleur from the color options provided.
Step V: Use Graph Options
Once the equations are mapped, three new options become active at the top-right corner of the graph window.
1. The first option lets you trace the plotted lines using the mouse or keyboard.
2. The next one is to share the graph via mail.
3. And the last one allows you to customize the graph waarmee u:
- change the minimum and maximum values of X and Y,
- switch between different units like degrees, radians, & gradians,
- adjust the line thickness and
- modify graph theme.
