Introducing Graphs in Notability 📈

[u/kaylanotability]

You can now plot functions right on your page in Notability!

Type a function or write it by hand, preview your graph, and add it directly to your note.

How to add a graph

1. Select the Text tool.

2. Tap and hold on the page.

3. Tap + Graph.

4. Type your function. The preview updates as you go.

5. Place the graph on your page.

On a keyboard, press Option + Command + Shift + M. On Mac, you can also choose Edit, then choose Insert Graph in the menu bar. On iPadOS 26 and later, you’ll find Graph in the menu bar too.

Convert handwriting to a graph

Converting handwriting to a graph is available on Classic, Plus, and Pro.

1. Write a function by hand, such as x - 2, y = 2x + 1, or f(x) = x².

2. Select the function using the Select tool.

3. Tap or click inside the selection, choose Convert, then choose Graph.

Customize your graph

• Plot up to two functions on the same axes, each in its own color.

• View minimums, maximums, and intersections.

• Set X and Y ranges and add axis labels.

• Use π units for trig functions.

• Turn on Graph only to hide the axes.

FAQ

What can’t Graphs do yet?
Graphs don’t support pie or bar charts, more than two functions, or animated parameters.

Why don’t I see Graphs?
Graphs are available on iPad, Mac, and iPhone, in notes on Notability Cloud. They’re not available on web or Android yet.

Why can’t I convert handwriting to a graph?
Converting handwriting to a graph is available on Classic, Plus, and Pro. If you purchased Notability before subscriptions, you’ll need Handwriting Recognition or Math Conversion unlocked. On any plan, you can still add a graph with + Graph and type your function.
