Text( from the Home Screen or the Program Editor

From the Home screen or the Program editor, you can draw

text on the Graph screen.

Text(

accepts three mandatory arguments: row and column,

which specify the pixel value of the top-left corner of the first

character, and text, which can be functions, variables, or text

instructions.

Text(

row,column,text

)

Text(

row,column,

"

text

")

row is an integer between 0 and 57 and column is an integer

between 0 and 94. Therefore, (0,0) is the top left corner, (0,94),

is the top right corner, (57,0) is the lower left corner, and

(57,94) is the lower right corner. If you try to draw text on any

edge of the Graph screen, the calculator only displays text that

fits; text does not wrap to the next row.
If text is surrounded by quotation marks (

"

"

) (found in the

Text editor), the calculator interprets any characters,

numbers, or expressions as text. If the quotation marks are

omitted, the TIN73 calculates and displays the result, if

applicable, with up to 10 characters.

from the Home screen. Start the

text at the pixel value of (10,60).

and select the beginning

point of the text.
