The line `XYPlotWindow wLine;` creates the object `wLine`, that is the window that will show the plot of a graph, in this case the graph of a segment. Look at the `for` loop. In this cycle several values for $$t$$ are generated and a value for $$x$$ and $$y$$ is computed for each $$t$$. Each ordered pair $$(x,y)$$ is added to the graph of the segment by the method `AddPointToGraph(x,y)`. After the cycle, there is a call to the method `Plot()`, to "draw" the points on the graph, and to the method `show()`, to show the plot. The *methods* are functions that allow us to work with the data of an object. Note that each of the methods is written after `wLine`, and followed by a period. In a future laboratory experience you will learn more about objects and practice how to create them and invoke their methods.
