Tracing a trajectory line

Do you guys know that trajectory line that Angry Birds has? Does anyone has any idea on how to do that? I have a similar setup here, but the physics is driving me crazy. How can i predict it?

just look up basic projectile ballistics on google for millions of diagrams, equations etc

My knowledge in physics hasn't been used for quite some time, but as far as I know, it must be like this:

v0 = Initial velocity a = angle

y(x) = (tan a) * x - ( g / (2 v0^2 cos^2(a)) ) x^2

This should give you the function that describes the trajectory line
