Predefined Function Names and ConstantsAll the predefined functions and constants that KmPlot knows can be shown by selecting → , which displays this page of KmPlot's handbook.
These functions and constants and even all user defined functions can be used to determine the axes settings as well. See the section called “Axes Configuration”.
By default, the trigonometric functions work in radians. However, this can be changed via → menu item.
