The CurveSketchSteps command is used to show how a student might plot a basic expression.
This command handles linear and quadratic polynomials in one variable, as well as single trig, log, 1/x and exponentials that are shifted and scaled. It does not support combinations of these functions and works best when the input is already simplified.
To avoid automatic simplifications the input expression can be given as a string. For example, calling CurveSketchSteps(cos(x-Pi/2)) will first evaluate cos(x-Pi/2) to sin(x) using normal Maple evaluation rules. Instead, call CurveSketchSteps("cos(x-Pi/2"), to internally make use of InertForm:-Parse and avoid this simplification.
The displaystyle and output options can be used to change the output format. See OutputStepsRecord for details.
This function is part of the Student:-Basics package.
