Note:

If

tmax < t0

,

tstep

must be negative. If

Fields=SLPFLD

,

tplot

is ignored and is

assumed to be the same as

t0

.

tplot

First t value plotted. If this is not a tstep increment, plotting
begins at the next tstep increment. In some situations, the
first points evaluated and plotted starting at t0 may not be
interesting visually. By setting tplot greater than t0, you can
start the plot at the interesting area, which speeds up the
graphing time and avoids unnecessary clutter on the Graph
screen.

Variable

Description

xmin, xmax,
ymin
, ymax

Boundaries of the viewing window.

xscl, yscl

Distance between tick marks on the x and y axes.

ncurves

Number of solution curves (0 through 10) that will be
drawn automatically if you do not specify an initial
condition. By default, ncurves = 0.
