plotting a parabola

Hi, everyone! Is it possible to use blender to plot a parabola? What i need to accomplish is plotting two parabolas in perpendicular planes (say, xy and xz). It is sort of displaying 2d plots in 3d.
Is there a “function plotter” in blender? or should a script be used?
I know it’s a thing you would normally do in mathcad or something but i certainly hope that blender can do the thing :smiley:
Thanks

go to the wiki script list
and download the sript for parabola and paraboloid
that should be make it eaxsy to make parabola

but won’t do what you can do in matcad!
