To delete all calculations, press . Note that deleting a calculation does not delete any
geometric objects from either the Plot or Symbolic view.
Plot view: Cmds menu
The geometric objects discussed in this section are those that can be created in either Plot view or Symbolic
view using the Commands menu ( ). This section discusses how to use the commands in Plot view.
Objects can also be created in Symbolic view—more, in fact, than in Plot view—but these are discussed in
Geometry functions and commands on page 189. Finally, measurements and other calculations can be
performed in Plot view as well.
In Plot view, you choose a drawing tool to draw an object. The tools are listed in this section. Note that once
you select a drawing tool, it remains selected until you deselect it. This enables you to quickly draw a number
of objects of the same type (such as a number of circles). To deselect the current drawing tool, press .
You can tell if a drawing tool is still active by the presence of the on-screen help in the bottom left-side of the
screen and the current command statement to its right.
The steps provided in this section are based on touch entry. For example, to add a point, the steps will tell you
to tap the screen where you want the point to be and press . However, you can also use the
cursor keys to position the cursor where you want the point to be and then press
.
The drawing tools for the geometric objects listed in this section can be selected from the Commands menu
at the bottom of the screen ( ). Some objects can also be entered using a keyboard shortcut. For
example, you can select the triangle drawing tool by pressing
. See Plot view: buttons and keys
on page 161.
Point
Point
Tap where you want the point to be and press .
Keyboard shortcut:
Point On
Tap the object where you want the new point to be and press . If you select a point that has been
placed on an object and then move that point, the point will be constrained to the object on which it was
placed. For example, a point placed on a circle will remain on that circle regardless of how you move the point.
