Truth plots
Truth plots are used to produce two-dimensional plots of regions that satisfy a
certain mathematical condition that can be either true or false. For example,
suppose that you want to plot the region for X^2/36 + Y^2/9 < 1,
proceed as follows:
•
Press „ô, simultaneously if in RPN mode, to access to the PLOT
SETUP window.
•
Change
to
TYPE
Truth
•
Press ˜ and type {'(X^2/36+Y^2/9 < 1)','(X^2/16+Y^2/9 > 1)'}
@@@OK@@@ to define the conditions to be plotted.
•
The cursor is now in the
that variable, or change it to 'X' if needed.
•
Press L@@@OK@@@ to return to normal calculator display.
•
Press „ò, simultaneously if in RPN mode, to access the PLOT
window (in this case it will be called PLOT WINDOW – TRUTH window).
Let's keep the default value for the window's ranges:

L).
Note: if the window's ranges are not set to default values, the quickest way
to reset them is by using L@RESET@ (select Reset all) @@@OK@@@ L.
•
Press @ERASE @DRAW to draw the truth plot. Because the calculator samples
the entire plotting domain, point by point, it takes a few minutes to
produce a truth plot. The present plot should produce a shaded ellipse of
semi-axes 6 and 3 (in x and y, respectively), centered at the origin.

Press L to recover the menu. Press L@) P ICT to recover the original

•
Press (X,Y) to determine coordinates of any point on the graph. Use the
arrow keys to move the cursor about the region plotted. At the bottom of
the screen you will see the value of the coordinates of the cursor as (X,Y).
