Creating an object in the Graphing View

When you create an object in the Graphing View, it is an analytic object,

and all points of the object reside on the graph plane. When you change

the axes scale, you automatically affect the appearance of the object. If

you calculate a value associated with the object such as the area, only

generic units are assigned (u for unit). These objects remain associated

with the coordinate plane until you delete them or redefine them to the

plane geometry area.

Note: When working with a modeling view work area (Plane Geometry

view with analytic window), you cannot move an analytic object onto the

plane geometry area.

Customizing the work area

Panning views

Panning lets you explore nearby objects, parts of graphs, or plots.

Grab any empty space in the work area, and drag it.

The pointer changes to

Note: Panning works in both the Graphing View and the Plane Geometry

View. In Plane Geometry View with the Analytic Window shown, you can

pan each view independently.

Showing/hiding the axes and other elements

In the Graphing View or in the Analytic Window in Plane Geometry View,

You can selectively show or hide the axes, grid, entry line, and end values

of the axes. You can show or hide the Scale indicator in any view.

Note: You can also hide or show the entry line by clicking

lower left corner of the work area.
