Differential Equation Graphing

Note:
With SLPFLD or DIRFLD, you can select initial conditions interactively regardless
of whether you enter initial conditions in the Y= Editor. With FLDOFF, you can select
initial conditions interactively. However, if three or more equations are entered, you must
enter a single value (not a list) as the initial condition for each equation in the Y= Editor.
Otherwise, a Dimension error occurs when graphing.

Note about Tracing a Solution Curve
When you enter initial conditions in the Y= Editor or let
ncurves
graph solution curves
automatically, you can use
… to trace the curves. However, you cannot trace a curve
drawn by selecting an initial condition interactively. These curves are drawn, not plotted.
