App views

Most apps have three major views: Symbolic, Plot, and Numeric. These views are based on the symbolic, graphic, and numeric representations of mathematical objects. They are accessed through the Y, P, and Mkeys near the top left of the keyboard. Typically these views enable you to define a mathematical object—such as an expression or an open sentence—plot it, and see the values generated by it.

Each of these views has an accompanying setup view, a view that enables you to configure the appearance of the data in the accompanying major view. These views are called Symbolic Setup, Plot Setup, and Numeric Setup. They are accessed by pressing JY, JP, and JM.

Not all apps have all the six views outlined above. The scope and complexity of each app determines its particular set of views. For example, the Spreadsheet app has no Plot view or Plot Setup view, and the Quadratic Explorer has only a Plot view. What views are available in each app is outlined in the next six sections.

Note that the DataStreamer app is not covered in this chapter. See HP StreamSmart 410 User Guide for information about this app.
