A function is a far more beautiful thing if one writes a coherent definition
of it with arguments localized to the function and specifically listed on
the lhs of the definition.
Clear[myfun];
myfun[x_, t_] := x^2 + 3 t x
Manipulate[
Plot[myfun[x, t], {x, 1, 2},
PlotRange -> {0, 65}],
{{t, 1}, 0, 10}]
Or, if you wish, you could define myfun by:
Clear[myfun];
myfun = Function[{x, t}, x^2 + 3 t x];
In the Plot statement within Manipulate one should almost always set an
explicit PlotRange to avoid the "Manipulate Jitters".

Hi everyone,
I am having problems when trying to plot an expression in a Dynamic
model using manipulate tool. For example, in this simple code I can
plot the function (first plot), I can evaluate its value in a
manipulate environment (second plot), but when trying to plot in a
dynamic environment I just get empty axis (third plot).
myfun = x^2 + 3 t x ;
t = 1;
Plot[myfun, {x, 0, 2}]
Clear[t]
Manipulate[Evaluate[myfun], {x, 1, 2}, {{t, 1}, 0, 10}]
Manipulate[Plot[Evaluate[myfun], {x, 1, 2}], {{t, 1}, 0, 10}]
Any idea of what I am doing wrong? I will really appreciate any
guidance.
Regards,
Marcel Goic
