Summary[edit]

Description
English: Graph of a decaying exponential function reaching 37% of its original value A after reaching the time constant τ. The exact units aren't given on the axis, although the graph is plotted using A=1 and τ=1.

Source code[edit]

This graph was created with gnuplot using the following input file:

set xrange [0:7]
set yrange [0:1]
set xzeroaxis linetype -1
set yzeroaxis linetype -1
set xtics axis nomirror offset 0,0.3  (0, "τ" 1, "5τ" 5)
set ytics axis nomirror offset -0.8,0 (0, "≈0.37A" 0.37, "A" 1)
set key off
set border 0
set lmargin 10
set rmargin 1.5
