3. On the Differential Equation Graph window, tap the coordinates that you want to specify as the new initial

condition.

• This will set the coordinates as the new initial condition and draw a solution curve.

• The newly configured initial condition is added to the initial condition editor. To view it, tap the [IC] tab.

Configuring Differential Equation Graph View Window Parameters

You can set a number of graphing parameters on the View Window dialog box. This dialog box contains two
tabs.

The [Window] tab lets you set the window
values and steps used for graphing a field. The
[Solutions] tab contains parameters used for
graphing solution curves.
