Using the Graph Window

Zooming the Graph Window

Your ClassPad provides you with a wide selection of zoom commands that you can use to enlarge or reduce an entire graph or a specific area of a graph.

k Zoom Commands

The Graph window’s [Zoom] menu contains the zoom commands described in the table below.

Zoom Command

Description

 

With “box zoom”, you draw a selection boundary around the area you

Box

would like to enlarge. This causes the selected area to be enlarged so

 

it fills the entire graph display.

 

 

Factor

“Factor zoom” lets you specify a zoom factor for enlarging or reducing

a graph.

Zoom In

Use the [Factor] command to configure zoom factor settings, the

Zoom Out

[Zoom In] command to zoom in, and the [Zoom Out] command to

 

zoom out.

 

 

Auto

“Auto zoom” automatically configures View Window y-axis values and

redraws the graph so it fills the Graph window along the y-axis.

 

Original

Return a graph to its original View Window settings

 

 

Square

Executing this command adjusts View Window x-axis values so that

they are identical to the y-axis values.

 

 

 

Round

Round View Window settings (xmin, xmax, xdot) to an appropriate

number of decimal places and redraw the graph.

 

 

 

Integer

This command makes the value of each dot equal 1, which makes all

coordinate values integers.

 

 

 

 

Performing a zoom operation changes View Window parameter

Previous

values. Execute this command to return View Window parameters to

 

their settings prior to the last zoom operation.
