independent variable column. As you enter values, corresponding
values for the dependent variables are displayed.

Special plotting and table variables

All the information about a plot is automatically stored in a set of reserved

variables that you have direct access to. These variables are named EQ,

J^DAT, PPAR, VPAR, JPAR, and ZPAR. Similarly, the information

regarding tables is automatically stored in TPAR.

Although these variables are reserved—which means that you should not

use them as the name of some object you create—you can have different
versions of these variables, providing that each version is in a separate

directory.

EQ

EQ contains the current equation or the name of the variable containing

the current equation. Specifically, EQ can contain:

• A single algebraic object or the name of a variable containing a single

algebraic object.

• A real number—or complex number in the case of a parametric plot—

or the name of a variable containing a real or complex number.

• A program that takes no parameters and yields exactly one result, or

the name of a variable that contains such a program.

• A list containing any combination of the these possibilities.

IDAT

SDAT contains the current data matrix for statistical plots or the name of

the variable that contains the data matrix. It is the equivalent of EQ when
you are plotting a scatter plot, bar chart, or histogram.

PPAR

PPAR stores the plot window and plot setup parameters for non-statistical

plots. It is displayed as a list. In general, the objects in this list are:
