[edit] Summary

See How to create graphs for Wikipedia articles

I made it with the following Gnuplot code:


# set the output
set terminal svg enhanced size 1000 1000 fname "Times" fsize 25
set output "Spherical_Bessel_j_plot.svg"

set title "Spherical Bessel function, first kind"

# axis properties
set xzeroaxis linetype -1 linewidth 0.5
set yzeroaxis linetype -1 linewidth 0.5
set xrange [0:15]
set yrange [-0.5:1.2]
set xlabel "x"
set ylabel "j_n (x)"
plot sin(x)/x ti "n = 0" with lines linewidth 2,\
     sin(x)/x**2 - cos(x)/x ti "n = 1" with lines linewidth 2,\
     (3/x**2 - 1)*sin(x)/x - 3*cos(x)/x**2 ti "n = 2" with lines linewidth 2

Then I postprocessed with Inkscape.
