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 four different modes built into it along with a bunch of converters.
- The first one is called the Faiga masani which will let you perform basic arithmetic calculations.
- Le isi o le Faʻasaienitisi faiga which allows advanced calculations with the use of trigonometric functions and exponents.
- It is followed by a Faiga polokalame for performing programming-related calculations.
- And finally, the new Graphing mode to plot equations on a graph.
Why Enable Graphing Mode in Calculator?
- E fesoasoani ia te oe 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.

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. Kiliki āmata, ituaiga faʻatonutonu, ma kiliki tatala e amata Ofisa Resitala.
2. Paste the following location Ala in the address bar and hit the ulu ki.
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesCalculator
Manatua: It is quite possible you did not find the Calculator folder. You will therefore need to create one manually. Right-click on Aiaiga ma kiliki fou sosoo ai ma le Key. Name the key as Calculator.
Manatua: If the Calculator key was already present on your PC, chances are the AllowGraphingCalculator value also exists. Otherwise, you will again need to manually create the value.
3. Taumatau-kiliki i le blank space. kiliki Fou > DWORD (32-bit) Taumaʻa. Ta'u le tāua as AllowGraphingCalculator.
4. Ia, kiliki-matau i luga AllowGraphingCalculator ma kiliki Suia.
5. Ituaiga 1 i lalo Taua faʻamaumauga: to enable the feature. Click on OK e faʻaola.
6. Tuʻu ese le Ofisa Resitala ma toe amata lau PC.
Manatua: If you wish to disable Graphing mode in the future, change the Faʻamaumauga o le tau i 0 in laasaga 5.
How to Use Calculator Graphing Mode
Step I: Access Graphing Mode
1. tatala le Calculator talosaga.
2. Kiliki i le hamburger (three horizontal lines) icon present at the top-left corner.
3. In the ensuing menu, click on Fuafua, pei ona faʻaalia.
4. Within a split second, you will be greeted with an empty graph on the left pane and a familiar-looking calculator numeric pad on the right, as shown below.

Step II: Plot Equations
1. Ulufale faʻatusa (eg x +1, x-2) on the top right fields for f1 & f2 fields, e pei ona faaalia.
2. Simply, hit ulu on your keyboard after typing out the equation to plot it.
3. Hover the mouse pointer over the plotted line ia maua le exact coordinates 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 lightning icon i talaane o.

Step IV: Change the Style of the Plotted line
1. Kiliki i le paint palette icon tatala Line Options.
2A. This will let you change the style of the plotted line as:
2B. Select the lanu 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 which allows you to:
- 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.
