Displaying a a function f(x) as a GUI, Complex Scripting Help?
I'm developing a firefighter roblox game that contains more than fighting fires but allows players to assist in real world medical assistance and medical emergencies.
I'm building a GUI to view the heart rate of a patient. I'm smart in calculus and beyond and I know how to manipulate a function to change the heart rate for different patient conditions.
The base function follows:

As you can see as 'b' increases the heartbeat moves through the red region. How do I make the red region a GUI. And display this graph as a GUI to display a beating heartbeat? The GUI has no scripts yet so anything that works is great, no need to worry about server events and such in the GUI.
Thank You, Jonathanmm305

This isn't a request site, but if you're just wanting an overview, these are some things you can do (look up anything I mention on the API site, ex https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/ScreenGui - just search what you want to know about):
- Use a 2D GUI (probably shown with SurfaceGUI), perhaps with a bunch of frames that work together to draw the curve (each line might only be 3-10 pixels wide - it won't be a perfect curve, but it'll communicate the idea well enough)
- Use a ViewportFrame, either with bricks that act as lines/curves or investigate using beams (https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/Beam)
You will need to update the frames/bricks/beams every frame, ex by listening to RunService's Heartbeat event.
