Does anyone have the equation that is displayed on the screen of the HP48G(X) user guide? I would like to plot it and can't find any reference to it.
In the absence of other replies I'll chip in my 2p.
I don't think it is an equation plot - at least not in the sense of using one of the built-in tools to graph it. It looks to me more like a graphic generated by a program and so your question becomes: hows does the program generate that 'graph'?
There are probably several ways to do it. One would be to generate a matrix of a uniform 2d grid and then distort the grid by multiplying by matrices. (Folding the grid up into a U shape first; then wrapping the result around the outside of a 'wheel' would seem to be a good start.)

Is it a rotated view of the wireframe plot in the example on Page 23-30? (I'm looking at the HP 48G Series User's Guide, Edition 8.) In that case, it is z = x^3 y - x y^3. But perhaps the one on the cover is not as convoluted as that one is.

I think you nailed it. I’m going to try and graph it and see what happens.

Maybe something like:
EQ: Z = Y^2 - X^2
XE: -1.4
YE: -2
ZE: -0.6
Step Indep: 14 Depnd: 10
and a window of -1 to 1 for X, Y, and Z.
It looks quite close but I have a nagging suspicion that it is inside out and an optical illusion flips it in the mind's eye from front to back!

Let the 48GX be your TEACHer: within its trove of treasures for EXAMPLE, in an unintended twist of PLOT you'll be able to use a WIRE and catch the knowledge you desire!

Thank you. I was able to reproduce your results using YOUR equation. Many thanks. It's close to the user guide, but not quite the same perspective. I will work on it.
I am going to continue to look at the equation that seems to be the one HP is convinced they used, but I am not so sure it is. Interesting issue!
