The fundamental theorem of calculus gives , so the graph is strictly increasing. Its second derivative is : it curves upward for and downward for , with an inflection point at zero.
By the Gaussian integral and the evenness of its integrand,
Thus the only axis intersection is ; there is no finite -axis intersection because the integral is strictly positive for every finite . The error function gives .

The increasing integral of a Gaussian
. The graph has its only axis intersection and its inflection point at . The horizontal lines at zero and are asymptotes. Details.
The traversal fixes the orientation of the vector area as half the cross product of the edges and :
Its Euclidean norm is the area of the triangle, and its direction follows the right-hand rule.
