Looking for free software where I can plot functions, have sliders and can publish the results in a webpage?

Question

Hello,

I am wondering where I can get some software that can graph 2-D functions, (ideally 3-D functions), with sliders where I can vary the values for the functions. I would also like to be able to display this data in a webpage... Will GNU plot do this? I have been looking around and can not find if it will do both of these things. Any recommendations on software that would that is free/low cost?

Thanks,

Brian

Haven't tried gnu plot, but I've used mathgv.
Here is the feature list:
1. Plots 5 function types; 2D Cartesian (X, Y), parametric, polar, 3D Cartesian (X,Y,Z), 2D function rotated into 3 dimensions.
2. Graphs can contain multiple functions.
3. All graphs are drawn on resizable bitmaps, and displayed in scrolling windows.
4. Graph bitmaps can be copied and pasted into other programs, or saved to disk.
5. Multiple document interface (MDI) allows for simultaneous viewing of multiple graphs.
6. Can calculate negative numbers to fractional powers.
7. Function calculator that can give decimal or fractional results.
8. All changes take effect immediately after they are made.
9. Use tool bar buttons to zoom, rotate, and page up, down, left, right.
10. Graphs can be saved in bitmap (bmp), jpg or MathGV format.
11. Label tool bar for drawing, lines, free hand lines, rectangles, circles, round rectangles, flood fills, and text.
12. Labels can be selected, dragged, dropped, resized, added and deleted on any graph at any time.
