Bill,
You have hit the nail on the head. I would like the domains to
overlap.
If I added Pi/4 to x, the proof I am working on would
automatically be solved. So the first Plot you provided will not work
for me. I did experiment with the first Plot and I am pretty sure that
I would get the same results overlaping the domains, but I have to be
sure about results.
I keep getting the error "Show::shx" when I use your second Plot.
I don't know if it works.
Thanks for your help,
Josef
