Erase Trace

Erases all trace lines, but leaves the definition of the trace

 

points in Symbolic view. While a Trace definition is still in

 

Symbolic view, if you move the point again, a new trace line

 

is created.

Center

Tap a circle and press E. A point is created at the

 

center of the circle.

Element 0 .. 1

Element 0 .. 1 has a number of uses. You can use it to

 

place a constrained point on a object (whether previously

 

created or not). For example, if in Symbolic view you define

 

GA as element(circle(),2)), go to Plot view, turn on

 

tracing, select GA and move it, you will see that GA is

 

constrained to move in a circle centered on the origin and of

 

radius 2.

 

You can also use Element

 

0 .. 1 to generate values

 

that can then be used as

 

coefficients in functions you

 

subsequently plot. For

 

example, in Plot view select

 

Element 0 .. 1. Notice

 

that a label is added to the

 

screen—GA, for example—and given a value of 0.5. You can

 

now use that label as a coefficient in a function to be plotted.

 

For example, you could choose Curve > Plot > Function

 

and define a function as GA*x2–7. A plot of 0.5x2–7 appears

 

in Plot view. Now select the label (GA, in this example) and

 

press E. An interval bar appears on the screen. Tap

 

anywhere along the interval bar (or press <or >). The

 

value of GA—and the shape of the graph—change to match

 

the value along the at which you tapped.

Intersections

Tap one object other than a point and press E. Tap

 

another object and press E. The point(s) where the two

 

objects intersect are created and named. Note that an

 

intersections object is created in Symbolic view even if the two

 

objects selected do not intersect.

Random pts

Displays a palette for you to choose to add 1, 2, 3, or 4

 

points. The points are placed randomly.
