acroflex – Create a graphing widget in a PDF file

The pack­age cre­ates a graph­ing screen us­ing the rman­not pack­age. The user can type in func­tions and graph them. A graph­ing screen can be pop­u­lated with pre-pack­aged func­tions for the user to scru­ti­nize and in­ter­act with. The pack­age can graph func­tions of a sin­gle vari­able x, a pair of para­met­ric equa­tions that are func­tions of t, and a po­lar func­tion of t.
The graph­ing screen is a rich me­dia an­no­ta­tion that uses a spe­cially de­vel­oped SWF file, called the AcroFLeX Graph­ing wid­get. The pack­age takes ad­van­tage of rich me­dia an­no­ta­tions, which is a ver­sion 9 fea­ture of Acro­bat; it there­fore re­quires Acro­bat Pro and Dis­tiller ver­sion 9. The user needs to use Adobe Reader 9.0 in or­der to ob­tain the graph­ing func­tion­al­ity.
