It's a graphics program for visual enjoyment, not to teach trigonometry. It's being done more for fun than to learn how a math function works. The master will teach if he/she wants to do so.

EDIT: Not using "WINDOW" just means scaling (multiplication) and skewing (addition) the results of "SIN()", "TAN()" and other such functions. The "essence" of the sinewave could be demonstrated, and why "TAN()" doesn't produce a good graph LOL without adjusting it a bit.

How many people who "don't know" trigonometry would consider visiting a forum about BASIC programming in the first place?

Actually I WAS trying to show how to use Trig functions on Basic screen without WINDOW modification because that involves allot of conversions, particularly mouse and that's not worst. Only a few graphics commands adjust to WINDOW conversions, certainly not drawing arcs with CIRCLE.
