I was a bit vague in my question because I didn't and still don't have a good idea what I want. It looks like Kig allows you to draw and manipulate common geometry. What I was looking for, is a means to write out a function like this: http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/gears/involute_equation-1a.png
then have it fill in a spread sheet of input and output, and graph the data points. Another problem is that the link above is an image of functions. I would like to be able to post the functions themselves, so that the functions could be downloaded and used. I have no idea of what application would do that...
