Inputting and Editing eActivity File Data

uTo use copy and paste to draw a graph

1.Perform steps 1 through 7 under “To create a Graph strip” (page 10-3-13) to create a Graph strip with the title “Graph draw”.

After completing step 7, check to make sure the Graph strip is highlighted on the eActivity workspace screen. If it isn’t, use the f and c cursor keys to move the highlighting to the Graph strip.

2.Press 3(INS)1(TEXT) to input a text line.3.Enter the following expression into the text line: Y = X2 – 1.

4.Use the f and c cursor keys to move the cursor to the expression you just input (Y = X2 – 1), and copy it to the clipboard.

See “To specify the copy range” (page 1-3-5) for details about how to copy text to the clipboard.

5.Use the f and c cursor keys to move the highlighting to the Graph strip, and then press w.

This will graph the function currently stored in “Graph draw ” strip memory.6.Press !j(PASTE).This will graph the function that is on the clipboard (Y = X2 – 1).

7.To return to the eActivity workspace screen, press !a(').

8.Press w again to call up the graph screen.

This will re-graph the function currently stored in “Graph draw” strip memory.

#Though the above example uses an expression that was copied from the eActivity workspace screen, you can also copy an

expression from another application and then paste it into eActivity.
