setFold() CATALOG setFold(newfolderName) ⇒ oldfolderString Returns the name of the current folder as a string and sets newfolderName as the current folder. The folder newfolderName must exist. newFold chris ¸ Done setFold(main) ¸ "chris" setFold(chris)! oldfoldr ¸ "main" 1! a ¸ 1 setFold(#oldfoldr) ¸ "chris" a ¸ a chris\a ¸ 1 setGraph() CATALOG setGraph(modeNameString, settingString) ⇒ string Sets the Graph mode modeNameString to settingString, and returns the previous setting of the mode. Storing the previous setting lets you restore it later. modeNameString is a character string that specifies which mode you want to set. It must be one of the mode names from the table below. setGraph("Graph Order","Seq") ¸ "SEQ" setGraph("Coordinates","Off") ¸ "RECT" Note: Capitalization and blank spaces are optional when entering mode names. settingString is a character string that specifies the new setting for the mode. It must be one of the settings listed below for the specific mode you are setting. Mode Name Settings "Coordinates" "Graph Order" "Rect", "Polar", "Off" "Seq", "Simul" 1 "Grid" "Off", "On" 2 "Axes" "Leading Cursor" "Off", "On" "Off", "Axes", "Box" "Off", "On" 2 (not 3D graph mode) (3D graph mode) "Labels" "Off", "On" "Style" "Wire Frame", "Hidden Surface", "Contour Levels", "Wire and Contour", "Implicit Plot" 3 "Seq Axes" "Time", "Web", "U1-vs-U2" 4 "DE Axes" "Time", "t-vs-y' ", "y-vs-y' ", "y1-vs-y2", "y1-vs-y2' ", "y1'-vs-y2' " 5 Tip: To type a prime symbol ( ' ), press 2 È.
