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.
- 第一个被称为 标准模式 which will let you perform basic arithmetic calculations.
- 接下来是 科学模式 which allows advanced calculations with the use of trigonometric functions and exponents.
- It is followed by a 程序员模式 for performing programming-related calculations.
- And finally, the new Graphing mode to plot equations on a graph.
Why Enable Graphing Mode in Calculator?
- 它可以帮助您 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 窗户10 and also provided a basic walkthrough of the model at the end.
Method 1: Through Local Group Policy Editor
This method is applicable if you are using Professional and Enterprise editions of Windows 10. Though, if you have a Home edition then you will not be allowed to access the Group Policy Editor. So, try the other method.
Step I: Determine Your Windows 10 Edition
1。 打开 个人设置 击中 Windows + I键 together, and select 系统, 如图所示。
2。 点击 关于 在左侧窗格中。
3。 检查 Windows规格 部分。
Step II: Enable or Disable Calculator Graphing Mode in Windows 10
1。 击中 Windows + R键 同时打开 运行 对话框。
2。 类型 输入gpedit.msc 并单击 OK 按钮启动 本地组策略编辑器。
3. 必须 User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Calculator in the left pane by clicking on the 箭头图标 at the side of each folder.
4。 点击 Allow Graphing Calculator entry in the right pane. Then, select the 政策制定 选项突出显示。
5。 点击 启用 单选按钮并单击 使用 保存更改。
请注意: If you haven’t previously altered the entry, it will be in 未配置 state, by default.
6. Close down all the programs and perform a 系统重启.
7.您的 计算器 app will show 制图 option once your PC boots back on.
请注意: To disable graphing calculator on Windows 10 computer, select 残疾人 选项 .

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。 点击 Start 开始,类型 注册表编辑器, 并点击 可选 推出 注册表编辑器.
2. Paste the following location 径 in the address bar and hit the 输入 键。
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesCalculator
请注意: It is quite possible you did not find the Calculator folder. You will therefore need to create one manually. Right-click on 使用政策与规范 并点击 全新 其次是 键. Name the key as 计算器.
请注意: If the Calculator key was already present on your PC, chances are the 允许图形计算器 value also exists. Otherwise, you will again need to manually create the value.
3.右键单击 blank space. 点击 新> DWORD(32位)值。 命名 折扣值 as 允许图形计算器。
4. 现在,右键单击 允许图形计算器 并点击 修改.
5。 类型 1 下 值数据: to enable the feature. Click on OK 保存。
6.退出 注册表编辑器 和 重新开始 您的电脑.
请注意: If you wish to disable Graphing mode in the future, change the 起息日 至 0 in .
How to Use Calculator Graphing Mode
Step I: Access Graphing Mode
1。 打开 计算器 应用程序。
2。 点击 hamburger (three horizontal lines) icon present at the top-left corner.
3. In the ensuing menu, click on 制图, 如图所示。
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。 进入 方程 (例如 x +1, x-2) on the top right fields for f1 & f2 fields,如图所示。
2. Simply, hit 输入 on your keyboard after typing out the equation to plot it.
3. Hover the mouse pointer over the plotted line 接收 精确坐标 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 闪电图标 在它的旁边。

Step IV: Change the Style of the Plotted line
1。 点击 paint palette icon 打开 Line Options.
2A. This will let you change the style of the plotted line as:
2B. Select the 颜色 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 它允许您:
- 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.
