Storing Graph Databases (GDB)
What Is a Graph Database?
A graph database (GDB) contains the set of elements that defines a particular graph. You can recreate
the graph from these elements. You can store up to 10 GDBs in variables GDB1 through GDB9, or GDB0
and recall them to recreate graphs.
A GDB stores five elements of a graph.
• Graphing mode
• Window variables
• Format settings
• All functions in the Y= editor and the selection status of each
• Graph style for each Y= function
GDBs do not contain drawn items or stat plot definitions.

GDB variable to which you want to store the graph
database. For example, if you enter 7, the TI-84 Plus C will store the
GDB to GDB7.
