(instead of replotting) the previous function graph(s) if no
changes were made. If changes were made, the functions are
replotted.

• Changed a function.
• Selected or deselected a function.
• Changed the value of a variable in a selected function.
• Changed a WINDOW variable or a - g setting.
• Cleared drawings by selecting ClrDraw (Chapter 10: Draw).
• Changed a stat plot definition (Chapter 6: Statistical

middle of the screen but is not visible. When you press a
cursor key, the cursor moves from that point and can be seen.
(Remember to use the - g CoordOn setting if you want
to see the (X,Y) coordinates at the bottom of the screen.)

Pressing ) allows you to move the ! and " cursor keys
from one plotted point to another and displays the cursor
coordinates at the bottom of the screen (if CoordOn is set). If
ExprOn (- g) is set, the expression being traced
appears in the top left corner.
