Hi Martin,

Just to confirm... Did you draw a rectangle before using the plotter? The function-plotter requires you to select a plotting area before you tell it to render a function. In other words, please could you confirm that you use the tool as follows:
* Draw a rectangle
* Select the rectangle
* Choose the function plotter extension, enter details and hit "Apply".

I also noticed a couple of potential problems with your input fields:
* You're only using 2 samples... i.e. your sine curve will only contain two data points.
* You selected a y-range of 0:1 but the sine function has a range of -1:1. This means that the curve will extended below the bottom of your selected drawing rectangle.
