I’m thinking of drawing lines like python’s matplotlib.
My best bet is to use a function to get points (samples) and then set the resolution.

It depends on your needs but I would go with drawing lines. Take a look at the Custom drawing in 2D tutorial if you are not familiar with the drawing methods.
Here is a little sample project I made in like 15 minutes:
Project files on mega.nz
Nodes used
Code written
extends Node2D
onready var a = 1
onready var b = 1
onready var c = 1
func ready():
update()
func _draw():
for i in range(1000):
draw_line(Vector2(a*i, b*sin(c*i)), Vector2(a*(i+1), b*sin(c*(i+1))), ColorN("slateblue"), 1)
func _on_a_slider_value_changed( value ):
a = value
update()
func _on_b_slider_value_changed( value ):
b = value
update()
func _on_c_slider_value_changed( value ):
c = value
update()
What it looks like

Just what I’ve been looking for. But whats the third slider for? amplitude?

I just added it to make it more random. Didn’t thought about its mathematical meaning.
A point consist of a x- and y-value. In technical used sin-functions x is almost always the time t and because of my loop it has a constant delta to the previous and next time-value.
t = a * t
y(t) = b*sin(c*t)
So you could say that a is a constant to change the scaling in x. The constant b is the Peak-to-peak amplitude. The constant cis manipulating the period.
But I am not sure so don’t blame me if this is totally wrong 
You can also transfer this more usable approach to gdscript. Shouldn’t be that hard.

This tips for drawing a sine wave helped me a lot. Thanks for this.
Just a quick question.
What is the purpose of a, b and c ?
Are these related to Amplitude and wavelength?
What is the wave equation for which this application is made?
