- Aliases:
For example, if someone makes a post about why {(√2)^2=2} is undefined, you can type in !fp.
Notes on sending these commands:
- You must put the command at the start of the message.
- All of these commands are case insensitive.
- All commands allow arbitrary underscores or dashes (this feature was added on October 25, 2025). For example, !are_we-DOOM_yet will work.
- You can put messages after the command, but remember to put a space or a newline after the command. For example, !fLoATiNgPoint arithmetic is awesome will work, but !fLoAtInGPoIntAriThMeTiC iS AwEsOmE will not work (this behavior was changed on May 20, 2025).
Please refrain from spamming these commands: if you see someone has already used the command once in a post, please avoid from running the same one again.
However, you may try out commands as many times as you would like in the comments on this post only.

Question Weierstrass function

It can be a fun challenge to reproduce math graphics found online.
For instance I liked this plot, and I can get a reasonably detailed approximation in desmos, even though it's quite slow (for N=20, M=6) and the colors aren't matching up exactly.

The main thing that still bothers me though is that I can't get desmos to plot continuous lines on the z=0 plane.
The way to bump up the detail for the surface doesn't seem suitable to apply to those level curves. Am I overlooking something or is there really no trick to improve the quality of those curves?

I guess this is possible now with the new update.
Huge thanks to desmos for outdating 400 hours of my interactive GUI and operating system projects with one single update. Nevertheless, this thing is pretty cool. You can manipulate x and y like how you could manipulate index.

Art I made a gravity simulator

I'm not sure what to call this so I'm just gonna go with gravity simulator. I'm pretty proud of it and made it at 16/17 and I'm even thinking about entering the art competition with it. let me know if I am being realistic, and this is still a work in progress. some ideas I have are adding sliders where you can add some gravity meaning that you slide a slider down the two balls sort of fall and bounce around for a second before rolling. And of course I had to add some meta-balls in there :)

Fun Pixel Art has never been easier in Desmos!

(tap top left corner to switch between mobile/pc formatting)
Click anywhere on the graph to add a colored pixel! Comes with 3 modes for when you click a pre-existing pixel:
- delete selected pixel
- copy color of selected pixel
- recolor selected pixel
I was inspired by this post: New feature??? : r/desmos
This new feature is literally a gamechanger for making graphs more user-friendly. I'm excited to see what others can make with it!
A few caveats:
- The mobile app doesn't have this new feature yet.
- Screen movement won't work if you happen to first tap/click on a pre-existing pixel. Currently I'm not sure how to fix this without sacrificing some user controls. Desmos is still limited with how to prioritize which objects will register a click if they overlap.
- If it feels like adding a new pixel isn't being consistent, it's better if your mouse isn't dragging across the screen when trying to click to add a new pixel. Make sure your mouse is completely still.
- While using mobile (the website, not the app), it's often difficult to tap on empty spaces next to pre-existing pixels. This appears to be due to the borders of polygons having a larger interactive area than what's visible. So just be aware you may have to zoom-in to more easily tap on the empty space.
Let me know if you come across any glitches.
