Let's make a graph of the parabola x=y^2. In order to plot its graph we have to represent it in the form of an equation y=f(x). By solving the equation of a parabola we get equations of the two functions y=sqrt(x) and y=-sqrt(x), which represent the top and bottom branches of the parabola curve. Thus, we shall plot the equations of the two functions:
plotfunc2d(sqrt(x), -sqrt(x), x=-2..2, y=-2..2):
