Sequential graphing-order mode evaluates and plots one
function completely before the next function is evaluated
and plotted.
Simul (simultaneous) graphing-order mode evaluates and
plots all selected functions for a single value of X and then
evaluates and plots them for the next value of X.
Note: Regardless of which graphing mode is selected, the TI.83 will
sequentially graph all stat plots before it graphs any functions.
Real mode does not display complex results unless
complex numbers are entered as input.
Two complex modes display complex results.
• a+bi (rectangular complex mode) displays complex
numbers in the form a+bi.
• re^qi (polar complex mode) displays complex numbers
in the form re^qi.
Full screen mode uses the entire screen to display a graph
or edit screen.
Each split-screen mode displays two screens
simultaneously.
• Horiz (horizontal) mode displays the current graph on
the top half of the screen; it displays the home screen or
an editor on the bottom half (Chapter 9).
• G.T (graph-table) mode displays the current graph on
the left half of the screen; it displays the table screen on
the right half (Chapter 9).
