A function M is defined which maps the plane onto a square region in such a way that the planar graphs In, exp, X, —X, 1/X, and all compositions formed from them are transformed into straight lines. One can then solve for their intersections. It also provides a natural definition for the repeated composition of In with itself t times, where t can be a non-integer.
