Using Zoom Operations
The
GRAPH
ZOOM
menu items, except
ZFIT
, work the same in
Pol
graphing as in
Func
graphing. In
Pol
graphing mode,
ZFIT
adjusts the graph screen in both the x and y directions.
The zoom operations affect only the
x
window variables (
xMin
,
xMax
, and
Xscl
) and the
y
window variables (
yMin
,
yMax
, and
yScl
), except
ZSTO
and
ZRCL
, which also affect the
q
window variables (
q
Min
,
q
Max
, and
q
Step
).
In the example,
r1=8sin(2.5
q
)
is graphed.
Values for
q
,
x
, and
y
are
displayed on the graph to the
