parameter and spell the function for X and Y coordinate in the corresponding input boxes.
As an example, to draw a graph of Sine, just type the following formulae: Y=Sin(T), X=T
and you'll get it instantly. Due to a bug with .BeginDrawCurve command in CorelDRAW 7 this
script is only available for CorelDRAW 8. It was tested on DRAW 8.369 and worked fine.
However you can try it with your version of Draw7 if you change
"CorelDRAW.Automation.8" for "CorelDRAW.Automation.7" at the beginning
