Abstract
A graph drawing system includes an electronic device and a calculation server. A first processor of the electronic device transmits calculation inquiry data including information on a function entered by a user operation to the calculation server. A second processor of the calculation server calculates drawing information including coordinates of a plurality of drawing points represented by the function and plotted in a graph drawing area of the display, and continuity/discontinuity information indicating whether or not adjacent points of the drawing points should be connected to each other, based on the calculation inquiry data and transmits the drawing information to the electronic device. The first processor causes the display to display a graph corresponding to the function, based on the drawing information.
