I was wondering if there is a feature of Pov-Ray that allows you to
graph equations.

In particular, parametric equations. This may seem strange as most
equations are 2D and Pov-Ray is 3D, but it would be cool if it does.

Thanks

The isosurface patch lets you do this, as well as a lot of other stuff,
but it is not in the official POV-Ray yet. (It will be, most of it at
least)

My recent post on CRC surfaces in povray.binaries.images and in
povray.binaries.scene-files shows one way you can easily create surfaces from
equations by using David Sharp's  P_surfa.inc file which was posted in
povray.binaries.images on 28 April.
