Implicit tries to plot implicit functions of the form f(x,y) = c. Thus it can be used to plot implicit functions, defined by f(x,y) = 0, together with contour lines (level surfaces) of the function z = f(x,y). (It can also be used to plot explicitly defined functions, say sin(x), by defining f(x,y) = y - sin(x), although there are better programs available to do this.)

This program may be freely distributed by any means, including the web, provided that there is no fee or charge or consideration of any kind which is in excess of $8.  However, we retain all the rights of the program.
