Hi MM, how about making rhubarb pie?

You forward an interesting proposition. You say that I can do things better than anyone simply because I know precisely what I want!

I have wanted many things in life but may of them I have not been able to get. Plotting functions with computers is not my strongest point in the first place. How plot complex functions is at this moment a mystery to me.

Some time ago I simply started playing with a complex argument in the sine function and it stumped me at first:

What is the meaning of an imaginary angle in the sine function? It made no sense to me at first. Think of a triangle with a angle if i90 degrees at one corner. What would be the value of the other angles? How would this triangle look like? Is it possible to draw one in the Escher Style?

In the meantime the mathematical solution of my problem is as easy as making rhubarb pie(OFF TOPIC). Some people have no idea how to make rhubarb pie, but it can be made just the same.
I do not know how to plot complex functions(yet). I just love to see a picture of sin(ix+y) in various colours.

I say sin(ix+y) does not even has the slightest resemblance to a simple sine wave. Mathematically it is simply an interesting complex function. I can go on on this and elaborate on triangles and so, but this is not the point.

Any experts on plotting complex functions out there?
