178 Chapter 9: Function Graphing To pause while a graph is being drawn, press b; press b again to resume plotting. Press ^ to stop graphing. Press * to start over and plot again. Smart Graph When you press *, the Graph screen immediately displays (instead of replotting) the previous function graph(s) if no changes were made. If changes were made, the functions are replotted. The graph is replotted if you have: • 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 Plots). Exploring the Graph with the Free-Moving Cursor Use ", !, $, and # to move the cursor around the Graph screen. When you first display the graph, the cursor is in the 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.) Exploring a Function Graph with ) 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.

, the Graph screen immediately displays
(instead of replotting) the previous function graph(s) if no
changes were made. If changes were made, the functions are
replotted.
The graph is replotted if you have:
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
Plots).
