Visual Function Explorer 1.12 beta 2 is designed for building 2D 
plots and exploring functions' behavior by moving, shrinking and 
stretching their plots interactively. The main features of the 
program are:

	- multi document interface 
	- building up to 16 graphs in the same window 
	- interactive exploring (you use keyboard to move along or 
          'shrink' the curves typing no numbers) 
	- setting labels on the plots 
	- hatching areas, bounded by the arcs 
	- multiply coordinate spaces handling 
	- declaring your own variables and subexpressions 
	- making calculations with the powerful built-in calculator 
          (using variables, subexpressions, constants and so.on) 
	- powerful HTML-based help system 
	- multi languages support 

The core idea of the program is functions exploring by 'crawling' along 
the curves using keyboard arrows and typing nothing. You just hold 
<Ctrl-Right> and it moves right; or <Shift-Up> and it shrinks before your eyes. 
All the labels and hatches are redrawn automatically. Visual Function Explorer 
(VFE) is a convenient tool for visual teaching and self studying mathematics 
through visualizations.You haven't study VFE much to make it build plots like 
when working with Maple, MathCad or Mathematica. VFE makes the process of 
visualization a matter of a few seconds.
