Other views for scaling and splitting the graph

VIEWS menu options

The preset viewing options menu ( ) contains options for drawing the plot using certain pre-defined configurations. This is a shortcut for changing Plot view settings. For instance, if you have defined a trigonometric function, then you could select Trig to plot your function on a trigonometric scale. It also contains split-screen options.

In certain aplets, for example those that you download from the world wide web, the preset viewing options menu can also contain options that relate to the aplet.

Press , select an option, and press .

Overlay

Plots the current expression(s)

Plot

without erasing any pre-existing

 

plot(s).

Auto Scale

Rescales the vertical axis so that the

 

display shows a representative

 

piece of the plot, for the supplied x

 

axis settings. (For Sequence and

 

Statistics aplets, autoscaling

 

rescales both axes.)

 

The autoscale process uses the first

 

selected function only to determine

 

the best scale to use.

Decimal Rescales both axes so each pixel =

0.1unit. Resets default values for

XRNG

(–6.5 to 6.5) and YRNG (–3.1 to 3.2). (Not in Sequence or Statistics aplets.)

Integer Rescales horizontal axis only, making each pixel=1 unit. (Not available in Sequence or Statistics aplets.)
