I don't understand what's going on here. If the domain of the parametric parameter t is 0:100, then the function sin(2pi*t) should oscillate about 100 times, but it only oscillates a couple. What am I missing?



documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
begin{scope}[x=.6textwidth,y=.6textwidth]
draw[very thin,color=gray, step=.1] (0.0,0.0) grid (1,1);
draw [ thick, domain=0:100, samples=40, smooth, variable=t]
plot ({t/100}, {sin(2*pi*t)*.5+.5});
end{scope}
end{tikzpicture}

          You got the domain right. The problem is that the trigonometric functions in TikZ are (oddly, in my opinion) in degrees by default. So 2*pi*t with t between 0 and 100 will give you the sine function (in degrees) between 0 and 628.3 degrees (which is about 10.96 radians) which almost 1.75 periods of the function. This is exactly what you see there: one full period and 3/4 of another.



          You can tell TikZ to use radians by appending an r to the argument or using the rad function (see page 1005 of the TikZ-PGF manual, section 93.3.4 “Trigonometric functions”). I also added the FPU to allow the domain up to 100 and increased the number of samples to 400 following Kpym's suggestion (notice the aliasing):

          Doh! Degrees... Yeah, don't know why that didn't occur to me. I'm just so used to thinking in radians. Usually trigonometric functions are defined assuming radians, but I guess it makes sense since everywhere else in latex assumes angles are degrees. I actually did try and turn up the samples at first - thought it was just aliasing.

          @argentum2f Yes, as I said “oddly”. All programming languages I know (which aren't that many, but...) have a sin function for argument radians and sind function for argument in degrees. Anyhow, Till must have had his reasons :)
