The Complex Identity Function (Rectangular Coordinates)

Consider the graph of the complex identity function w = z. Here z = x + yi and w = u + vi where x, y, u, and v are real variables. We choose as the domain for z the unit square in the z-plane, given by -1 < x < 1, -1 < y < 1, so the ranges of u and v will also be given by the same interval. The graph of the identity function will then be a parallelogram in four-space with its four edges along the diagonals of four of the square faces of the hypercube.
