Thank you for this program. I was also looking into plotting complex functions, and one other option I found is to use the 3D contour plot feature of the Graph3D program, using RE() and IM(), and setting the rotation angle to x=90, y=0, and z=0.. however your program looks better in plotting complex functions.
I also modified and added Domain Coloring to your program, by porting the code in
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:C...x_plot.jpg. I think Domain Coloring could be more useful and it also looks prettier.
Here is a screenshot of domain coloring plot showing sin(0.5*X^3 + X) + cos(X^2):
Below is the modified code:
