Setting the Graph Format Displaying the Format Settings To display the format settings, press y [FORMAT]. The default settings are highlighted below. RectGC PolarGC CoordOn CoordOff GridOff GridOn AxesOn AxesOff LabelOff LabelOn ExprOn ExprOff Sets cursor coordinates. Sets coordinates display on or off. Sets grid off or on. Sets axes on or off. Sets axes label off or on. Sets expression display on or off. Format settings define a graph's appearance on the display. Format settings apply to all graphing modes. Seq graphing mode has an additional mode setting (Chapter 6). Changing a Format Setting To change a format setting, follow these steps. 1. Press †, ~, }, and | as necessary to move the cursor to the setting you want to select. 2. Press Í to select the highlighted setting. RectGC, PolarGC RectGC (rectangular graphing coordinates) displays the cursor location as rectangular coordinates X and Y. PolarGC (polar graphing coordinates) displays the cursor location as polar coordinates R and q. The RectGC/PolarGC setting determines which variables are updated when you plot the graph, move the freemoving cursor, or trace. • RectGC updates X and Y; if CoordOn format is selected, X and Y are displayed. • PolarGC updates X, Y, R, and q; if CoordOn format is selected, R and q are displayed.
