We don't advertise this yet, since we still test it. But I think it's good by now. Here's an example.

<problem>
<script type="loncapa/perl">$x=&random(5,10,1);</script>
<startouttext />
Make a sketch of the electrostatic potential (zero at infinity) of a negative point charge located at x=$x m.
<endouttext />
<functionplotresponse xaxisvisible="yes" xlabel="x [m]" gridvisible="yes" ylabel="V(x) [V]" id="11" xmax="30" yaxisvisible="yes" xmin="-4" ymin="-10" ymax="10" answerdisplay="-4/abs(x-$x)">
<functionplotelements>
<spline initx="-2" inity="0" index="A" order="2" scalex="4" />
<spline index="B" order="2" initx="12" inity="0" scalex="4" />
</functionplotelements>
<functionplotruleset>
