If you mean an "indefinite integral" in the sense that most people have been
using the term in this newsgroup (i.e. an integral with no specified limits,
yielding an answer that includes a constant of integration), then the plot is
exceedingly simple.

It is all black.

In some quarters, the term "indefinite integral" means an integral of the form

	F(x) = (integral from a to x) f(t) dt

where a is a constant.  For some reason, I get the feeling that that is not what
people have been asking for when they say they want to do indefinite integrals
on the HP48.
