I didn't have any problem using ImplicitPlot on this equation...note that
you can get rid of the outer square root since if it is zero the argument
must be zero also.
In[1]:= eq = 2*Sqrt[2*x^2 - y^2] - 2*y + x^2 == 0 ;
In[2]:= <<Graphics`ImplicitPlot`
In[3]:= ImplicitPlot[eq, {x,-Sqrt[2]*2, Sqrt[2]*2}]
and the result is a curve symmetrical about the origin as you would expect
since the equation only involves terms in x^2. Since you didn't give us
the "real" equation you are interested in, it is hard to know if there is
some other problem affecting your output. Regards, RF

Hi,
I've spent 4 days to try to use ImplicitPlot on an equation, without
success:
The Equation I try to plot has 2 nested square roots, ans 2 variables :
something like Sqrt[2*Sqrt[2X^2 -Y^2] - 2*Y +X^2]==0
(it's not exactly this one: it's just to give you an idea )
Of course this equation is not defined everywhere, and the domain where
it's defined is complex. When i try to "ImplicitPlot" this equation,
i've an answer :
"The contour is attempting to traverse a cell in which some of the
points have not evaluated to numbers, and it will be dropped"
followed by
"Further output of ContourGraphics::"ctpnt" will be suppressed during
this calculation."
So i don't have any answers ( and there are answers of course :)
Is there some options or another solution to draw this implicit equation
?
Thanks by advance
