Hello everyone, I would like to ask how to plot data over a circle like cutline is used to plot data over a line while cutpoint over a point similarly how can one plot over a circle. I used trigonometric functions to form circle by using cutpoint but the graph plot is not ok...

This sounds like a job for the Parametric Curve 2D data set.

Thanks for the reply Gunnar. I used the parametric curve 2D but what expressions should i write in the x and y to have a circle. I used the expression r*cos(range(0,0.01,2*pi)) and r*sin(range(0,0.01,2*pi)) for the x and y but the range function does not work it is giving the message of unknown function or operator range.....
Thankssss

The x and y fields expect expressions defined in terms of a parameter. Try the following:

Name: s
Minimum: 0
Maximum: 2*pi
x: r*cos(s)
y: r*sin(s)

Thanks i got your point. I tried but it is giving the message
Cannot evaluate the expression
Failed to evaluate variable.
- Variable: s
- Geometry: 1
- Boundary: 1 2 4 5 7 8 9 15 53 54 67 77 79 98 99
Failed to evaluate expression.
- Expression: cos(s)
- Plot: previewplot1 (Line)
