neutral  David Sirett: 'as a function of' is correct, but not 'in function of', which is not even supported by the reference you give for it.

force en fonction du déplacement
force versus displacement


Explanation:
The graph shows force (on the vertical scale, say) versus displacement (on the horizontal).

Hope you're billing per source word (ratio of 3 to one). Plotting source/target text word counts (source versus target) would make an interesting graph too.
