Note: If you enter a fractional number for xgrid or ygrid, it is rounded to the nearest whole number | 1. The 3D mode does not have scl Window variables, so you cannot set tick marks on the axes. Standard values (set when you select 6:ZoomStd from the „ Zoom toolbar menu) are: eyeq = 20. eyef = 70. eyeψ = 0. xmin = L10. xmax = 10. xgrid = 14. ymin = L10. ymax = 10. ygrid = 14. zmin = L10. zmax = 10. ncontour = 5. You may need to increase the standard values for the grid variables (xgrid, ygrid) to ensure that enough points are plotted. Note: Increasing the grid variables decreases the graphing speed. Setting the Graph Format The Axes and Style formats are specific to the 3D graphing mode. Exploring a Graph As in function graphing, you can explore a graph by using the following tools. Any displayed coordinates are shown in rectangular or cylindrical form as set in the graph format. In 3D graphing, cylindrical coordinates are shown when you use use: ƒ 9 - or - 3D Graphing 380
