Does anyone know where I can find the formula for the deflection along the x axis on a beam that is continuous over 3 supports but is loaded only along one span. I can find the max deflection but I want to graph the deflection

Thanks for the response but that doesn't help not because of the language but it isn't for two spans with only one span loaded
 
the best option for graphing the deflected shape would be the double-integration method, as it will give you the deflection as a function of x "D = F(x)"; and with that function you can plot the deflected shape
 
Thanks for the responses.
The Italian chart was helpful for another purpose.
Kam93 you are correct and I did that but I was having a problem with the second span. I was not getting the correct deflections.
I solved that by going from a to b for the first span and from c to b for the second span.
Its been a long time since I have used calculus!!!
