The current default implicit plot 'y∙sinx + x∙cosy = 1' scales badly on the big area. This can be mitigated using some simpler but famous plot.

May it be an elliptic curve?
y²=x³−x+1
It is obvious that any equation with periodical functions should make KmPlot stuck at some scaling.
On the other hand, all functions with asymptotic behavior are "ugly" at a large scale.
There are some compendiums of "famous" functions (e. g. [1]), but I failed to find something really interesting on an arbitrary scale. That is the main reason for this review request.

For my school students, I would use a simple x²+y²=25. We don't teach elliptic curves before university.
