Inputting and Editing eActivity File Data

kInserting a Strip

A strip can be used to embed data from Graph, Conics Graph, Spreadsheet, and other applications into an eActivity. Note that only one application screen (either the Graph screen or Graph Editor screen in the case of GRAPH mode data, for example) can be used in each strip.

A strip consists of a title field on the left, and a screen name field on the right.

that the strip contains.

Using the f and c keys to move the highlighting to a strip and then pressing w will display the applicable application screen.

The data used to perform operations on an application screen called up from a strip (functions used for graphing, etc.) is stored in the strip’s data memory. Because of this, any data stored in the strip is available whenever you call up the application from there or even if you switch the strip to another application.

#Though the applicable application screen fills the display when you call up an application from a strip, eActivity continues running in the background. It is important to keep in mind that any operation you perform within the application is an eActivity operation.

#Any data you input on an application screen called up from a data strip is stored in the data strip’s data memory, not in an application data file.

#Separate data is stored in each strip’s data memory, so if you create multiple strips that are associated with the same application screen, the application screen for each strip will produce its own unique results.
