path - Trace equation of line in Photoshop


Is there a direct method of using the Photoshop pen tool (or any other tool) to trace the equation of a line in 2D space and create a path from it in a given domain and/or range, provided I define a Cartesian coordinate system with an origin and two axes?


It would be cool if it could do this!



Answer




No, there is no native way to do this. There might be a plugin but Photoshop does not have any graphing functionality. You're best bet is to find a graphing application that can export something like .CAD, .SVG, or .EPS.


In fact if looking for plugins you'd probably be better off looking for an Illustrator plugin than a photoshop one as equations of lines are vector in nature. You'll have to look a few up and find which works best for your system.
