BOX

Draws a box to define the graph screen

ZIN

(zoom in) Magnifies the graph around the cursor by factors of

xFact

and

yFact

ZOUT

(zoom out) Displays more of the graph around the cursor by factors of

xFact

and

yFact

ZSTD

Displays the graph in standard dimensions; resets the default window variable values

ZPREV

Reverses the last zoom operation; window variables revert to previous values

ZFIT

Recalculates

yMin

and

yMax

to include the minimum and maximum

y

values of the

selected functions between the current

xMin

and

xMax

ZSQR

Sets equal-size pixels on the x-axis and y-axis; adjusts window variable values in one
direction so that

@

x=

@

y

, while

xScl

and

yScl

remain unchanged; the midpoint of the

current graph (not the axes intersection) becomes the midpoint of the new graph

ZTRIG

Sets built-in window variables appropriate for trigonometric functions in

Radian

mode:

xMin=

L

8.24668071567

xScl=1.5707963267949

(

p à2)

yMax=4

xMax=8.24668071567

yMin=

L

4

yScl=1

ZDECM

Sets

@

x=.1

,

@

y=.1

,

xMin=

L

6.3

,

xMax=6.3

,

xScl=1

,

yMin=

L

3.1

,

yMax=3.1

, and

yScl=1

ZDATA

Sets window variable values to display all statistical data points; adjusts

xMin

and

xMax

only; applies to histograms, scatter plots, and stat plots only (Chapter 14)

ZRCL

Uses window variable values stored in the user-defined zoom-window variables (

ZSTO

)

ZFACT

Displays the

ZOOM

FACTORS

screen

ZOOMX

Zooms out by a factor of

xFact

only; ignores

yFact

(page 93)

ZOOMY

Zooms out by a factor of

yFact

only; ignores

xFact

ZINT

Sets integer values on the axes; sets

@

x=1

,

@

y=1

,

xScl=10

, and

yScl=10

; the current

cursor becomes the center of the new graph screen after you press b

ZSTO

Stores current window variable values to user-defined zoom-window variables (

ZRCL

)

To cancel the effect of any
ZOOM

menu item and return

to the default window variable
values, select ZSTD.

If you graph a circle but it
appears elliptical, you can
use ZSQR to reset the
window variable values so
that the circle graph appears
circular.
