DrawFunc
CATALOG
DrawFunc
expression
Draws
expression
as a function, using
x
as the
independent variable.
Note: Regraphing erases all drawn items.

DrawInv
CATALOG
DrawInv
expression
Draws the inverse of
expression
by plotting
x
values on the y axis and
y
values on the x
axis.
x
is the independent variable.

Draws the parametric equations
expression1
and
expression2
, using
t
as the independent
variable.
Defaults for
tmin
,
tmax
, and
tstep
are the
current settings for the Window variables
tmin
,
tmax
, and
tstep
. Specifying values does
not alter the window settings. If the current
graphing mode is not parametric, these three
arguments are required.
Note: Regraphing erases all drawn items.
