Clearing an

To clear one object, select it and tap C. Note that an object

object

is distinct from the points you entered to create it. Thus

 

deleting the object does not delete the points that define it.

 

Those points remain in the app. For example, if you select a

 

circle and press C, the circle is deleted but the center point

 

and radius point remain.

 

 

 

If you tap Cwhen no

 

 

 

object is selected, a list of

 

 

 

objects appears. Tap on the

 

 

 

one you want to delete. (If

 

 

 

you don’t want to delete an

 

 

 

object, press Jto close

 

 

 

the list.) If other objects are

 

 

 

dependent on the one you

 

 

 

have selected for deletion, you will be asked to confirm your

 

intention. Tap

to do so, otherwise tap

.

 

Note that points you add to an object once the object has

 

been defined are cleared when you clear the object. Thus if

 

you place a point (say D) on a circle and delete the circle, the

 

circle and D are deleted, but the defining points—the center

 

and radius points—remain.

 

 

Clearing all

To clear the app of all geometric objects, press SJ. You

objects

will be asked to confirm your intention to do so. Tap

 

 

to clear all objects defined in Symbolic view or

to keep

 

the app as it is. You can clear all measurements and

 

 

calculations in Numeric view in the same way.

 

Moving about

You can pan by dragging a finger across the screen: either

the Plot view

up, down, left, or right. You can also use the cursor keys to

 

pan once the cursor is at the edge of the screen.

 

Zooming

You can zoom by tapping

and choosing a zoom

 

option. The zoom options are the same as you find in the Plot

 

view of many apps in the calculator (see “Zoom” on

 

 

page 88).
