Turning On and Turning Off Stat Plots
PlotsOn and PlotsOff allow you to turn on or turn off stat plots from the home screen or a program.
With no plot number,
PlotsOn turns on all plots and PlotsOff turns off all plots. With one or more
plot numbers (1, 2, and 3),
PlotsOn turns on specified plots, and PlotsOff turns off specified plots.
PlotsOff [1,2,3]
PlotsOn [1,2,3]
Note: You also can turn on and turn off stat plots in the top line of the Y= editor (Chapter 3).
Defining the Viewing Window
Stat plots are displayed on the current graph. To define the viewing window, press p and
enter values for the window variables.
ZoomStat redefines the viewing window to display all
statistical data points.
Tracing a Stat Plot
When you trace a scatter plot or xyLine, tracing begins at the first element in the lists.
When you trace a histogram, the cursor moves from the top center of one column to the top center
of the next, starting at the first column.
When you trace a box plot, tracing begins at
Med (the median). Press | to trace to Q1 and minX.
Press ~ to trace to
Q3 and maxX.
When you press } or † to move to another plot or to another Y= function, tracing moves to the
current or beginning point on that plot (not the nearest pixel).
The
ExprOn/ExprOff format setting applies to stat plots (Chapter 3). When ExprOn is selected, the
plot number and plotted data lists are displayed in the top-left corner.
