PXC

Type:

Command

 

 

Description:

Pixel to Complex Command: Converts the specified pixel coordinates to user-unit coordinates.

 

The user-unit coordinates are derived from the (xmin, ymin) and (xmax, ymax) parameters in the

 

reserved variable PPAR. The coordinates correspond to the geometrical center of the pixel.

Q

Command

 

 

Type:

 

 

Description:

To Quotient Command: Returns a rational form of the argument.

 

The rational result is a “best guess”, since there might be more than one rational expression consistent with the argument. →Q finds a quotient of integers that agrees with the argument to within the number of decimal places specified by the display format mode.

→Q also acts on numbers that are part of algebraic expressions or equations. Access: „Ú REWRITE LQ (Ú is the left-shift of the 6key).

Flags:

Number Display Format (–45 to –50)

Command

 

 

Type:

 

 

Description:

To Quotient Times π Command: Returns a rational form of the argument, or a rational form of

 

the argument with π, square roots, natural logs, and exponentials factored out, whichever yields

 

the smaller denominator.

 

 

 

The rational result is a “best guess”, since there might be more than one rational expression

 

consistent with the argument. →Qπ finds a quotient of integers that agrees with the argument to

 

the number of decimal places specified by the display format mode.

 

 

→Qπ also acts on numbers that are part of algebraic expressions or equations.

 

For a complex argument, the real or imaginary part (or both) can have π as a factor.
