Graphs

Plot a function right on your page. Type it or write it by hand, preview it live, and place it in your note. Graphs are available on Classic, Plus, and Pro for iPad, Mac, and iPhone, in notes on Notability Cloud.

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

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

  2. With the Select tool, circle the function.

  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.

  • See points of interest: minimum and maximum for one function, intersections for two.

  • Set the X and Y ranges and add axis labels.

  • Use π units for trig functions.

  • Turn on Graph only to hide the axes.

To change a graph, select it and choose to edit.

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 Classic, Plus, and Pro for iPad, Mac, and iPhone, in notes on Notability Cloud. They’re not available on web or Android yet.

If you purchased Notability before subscriptions, Graphs requires Handwriting Recognition or Math Conversion.
