Summary[edit]

Description
English: Graph of the unnormalized sinc function sin(x)/x.

Mathworld's version

Instructions:
See Wikipedia graph-making tips.

Then I opened the resulting SVG file in Inkscape, copy and pasted the Unicode π characters and modified those labels by hand, changed the line colors, brought the plot lines to the top, made all the lines 3 px wide, made the grid lines 2px wide and 50% transparency.

With just a few more corrections it had been W3C-valid.
