Plot the Batman Curve in Google Search - Stupid Geek Tricks

Google Search's Graphing Feature and the Batman Logo

In the past year, Google integrated a graphing function directly into its search results. This allows users to visualize mathematical functions without leaving the search page.

When this capability was initially launched, questions arose regarding the sophistication of the Google Graphing Engine. Many SEO professionals speculated about its limitations.

The "Batman Function" Challenge

A common challenge presented to the engine was the ability to graph the iconic "Batman Function." It was widely debated whether this complex shape could be rendered.

Recently, Roland Mieslinger successfully determined the equation needed to generate the Batman logo using Google Search.

How to Plot the Batman Curve

To display the Batman Curve, simply copy and paste the following equation into the Google search bar:

2*sqrt(-abs(abs(x)-1)*abs(3-abs(x))/((abs(x)-1)*(3-abs(x))))(1+abs(abs(x)-3)/(abs(x)-3))sqrt(1-(x/7)^2)+(5+0.97(abs(x-.5)+abs(x+.5))-3(abs(x-.75)+abs(x+.75)))(1+abs(1-abs(x))/(1-abs(x))),-3sqrt(1-(x/7)^2)sqrt(abs(abs(x)-4)/(abs(x)-4)),abs(x/2)-0.0913722(x^2)-3+sqrt(1-(abs(abs(x)-2)-1)^2),(2.71052+(1.5-.5abs(x))-1.35526sqrt(4-(abs(x)-1)^2))sqrt(abs(abs(x)-1)/(abs(x)-1))+0.9 

This will instruct the Google Graphing Engine to render the image.
