Manual Graphing

kUsing Copy and Paste to Graph a Function

Description

You can graph a function by copying it to the clipboard, and then pasting it into the graph screen.

There are two types of functions you can paste into the graph screen.Type 1 (Y= expression)

A function with the Y variable to the left of the equal sign is graphed as Y= expression.

Example: To paste Y=X and graph it• Any spaces to the left of Y are ignored.Type 2 (expression)Pasting this type of expression graphs Y= expression.Example: To paste X and graph Y=X• Any spaces to the left of the expression are ignored.

Set Up

1.Copy the function you want to graph to the clipboard.2.From the Main Menu, enter the GRAPH mode.3.On the Setup screen, change the “Dual Screen” setting to “Off”.4.Make V-Window settings.

5.Draw the graph.

Execution

6. Paste the expression.

#Paste is supported only when “Off” is selected for the “Dual Screen” setting on the Setup screen.

#Though there is no limit per se on the number of graphs you can draw by pasting a function, the total number of graphs supported by trace and other functions is 30 (number of graphs drawn using expression number 1 to 20, plus graphs drawn using pasted functions).

#For the graph of a pasted function, the graph expression that appears when using trace or other functions is displayed in the format:

Y= expression.

#Re-executing a draw without clearing graph screen memory will redraw all the graphs, including those produced by pasting functions.
