Preparing a custom HP Prime app

You can use HP Prime apps to send examples and numerical data to students. HP Prime apps can be extended

via programs to help students explore mathematical concepts. These apps can be created or downloaded and

then distributed to students either one at a time via USB or all at once using the wireless classroom network.

HP recommends using HP Connectivity Kit to distribute apps to one or more HP Prime calculators.

Each default HP Prime app (Function, Advanced Graphing, Geometry, and so on) can be used as a template.

You can enter content such as denitions, expressions, text notes, programs, and data into this template.

Then, save the customized app with a new name.

For example, you can copy the numerical data known as Anscombe’s Quartet (in a spreadsheet format), and

then paste that data into the Statistics 2Var app on your virtual HP Prime calculator. Then, save the app with

the name Anscombe. You can now send Anscombe to your class via the wireless classroom network. Because

Anscombe is based on the Statistics 2Var app, it has the same functions as that app: you can create scatter

plots based on the data in the app, compute and draw lines of best t, and so on.

In most cases, the changes you make to an app are made using either your physical or virtual HP Prime

calculator. You can also use the app editors in HP Connectivity Kit. However, there are a few changes that you

can make only by using the virtual HP Prime calculator and Connectivity Kit. See the following sections.

Adding a background

The Plot view of most HP Prime apps can contain an image as a background. This image is selected and

congured on page 3 of Plot Setup.

To add a background to your HP Prime app:

1. In HP Connectivity Kit, open an HP Prime calculator in the calculator pane.

2. On the selected HP Prime calculator, open Application Library.

3. Right-click the app, and then select Add background.

4. In the window that opens, select an image le.

5. The image opens in a new window. A red rectangle outlines the part of the image that will be used as a

background. Move the rectangle to select a dierent part of the image. You can also zoom in or zoom

out.

TIP: A preview is displayed in the bottom-right corner of the window.

6. To select the image inside the red rectangle, click OK.

7. In the calculator pane, double-click the app to open the app editor, and then click the Save icon. You can

see your image le in the Files tab.

8. Save your changes, and then close the app editor.

The image is now the background in your app. To use your image, go to page 3 of Plot Setup. The image is

saved to the Files tab of your app editor. In HP Connectivity Kit, double-click the app and click the Files tab to

see your image le.

Adding an icon

By default, the icon for a new app is the same as the icon for the base app used as a template. You can use

another image as the icon for your new app.
