This graph is meant to help accompany the article Length of an arc and describe the method Fermat used. It has been released by Jacob Rideout to the public domain.

This is a rough, first draft of the graph. While I was adding lines to the graph the various colors all turned to red and I could not separate the colors again. Below is the code for gnuplot, please help me fix it.

Upphovsrätt kan inte tillämpas på detta verk som därmed hamnar i public domain; detta på grund av att verket enbart består av information som är allmän egendom och saknar verkshöjd.
