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.

The Calculator application itself has patru moduri diferite built into it along with a bunch of converters.
- Primul se numește Mod standard which will let you perform basic arithmetic calculations.
- Următorul este Mod științific which allows advanced calculations with the use of trigonometric functions and exponents.
- It is followed by a Modul programator for performing programming-related calculations.
- And finally, the new Graphing mode to plot equations on a graph.
Why Enable Graphing Mode in Calculator?
- Te ajută să 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.
