Grapher domain & range issues

[DiMarc217]

Hi, I'm doing a project that requires a lot of complicated shading in grapher (using inequalities). It would really help for me to be able to set the domain and/or range of the inequalities using an 'or' boolean statement. For example, I can do this:

x>0 : y<x+3

and I can use 'and' statements:

x>0 & x<3 : y<x+3

but I need to be able to do something like this:

x<0 OR x>3 : y<x+3

I know for this example I could just split it into two equations, but for the one I'm doing with multiple overlapping conditions, I need to be able to use an 'or' operator.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

Grapher : boolean

Hi,
Menu Window/Equation palette/Symbols : the four last ones are -AND-OR-XOR-INFINITY.
Attachment : a .gcx file with your inequalities, two ways for them.
Does that solve your problem ?
Be well, YB24

that's perfect, thanks!

Grapher : boolean

I forgot one boolean sign : The five last symbols on the equation palette are NOT-AND-OR-XOR (boolean)- infinity. YB24

Other options

"|" is another symbol for the OR operator, though in Grapher v 2.0 typing "|" gets you the absolute value operator.

For some cases, intervals can be used: "0≤x & x≤3" is equivalent to "x ∈ [0;3]" and "x<0 | 3<x" is equivalent to "x ∉ [0;3]".

The Grapher guide on this very site lists these operators (including how to enter them) and many others.

Hi !
I can't use this sign in Grapher 2.1 as OR operator: I get every time the absolute value operator. May be there are some differences between french, english etc. keyboard. For what Grapher cases did you use this sign ?
Is "this very site list" wrong ?

As noted in previous post, "|" produces the absolute value operator since Grapher v2 came out. The Grapher guide hasn't been updated with this information. The guide needs quite a bit of work, which I hope will happen as more people become aware of it.

My own list of Grapher 2.1 keyboard shortcuts is in attachment. may be you'll find it useful.
