Controlling What Appears on a Graph Screen
u
V-Window Setting Precautions
• Inputting zero for T
θ
ptch causes an error.
• Any illegal input (out of range value, negative sign without a value, etc.) causes an error.
• An error occurs when Xmax is less than Xmin, or Ymax is less than Ymin. When T
θ
max
is less than T
θ
min, T
θ
ptch becomes negative.
• You can input expressions (such as 2
π
) as V-Window parameters.
• When the V-Window setting produces an axis that does not fit on the display, the scale
of the axis is indicated on the edge of the display closest to the origin.
• Changing the V-Window settings clears the graph currently on the display and
replaces it with the new axes only.
• Changing the Xmin or Xmax value causes the Xdot value to be adjusted automatically.
Changing the Xdot value causes the Xmax value to be adjusted automatically.
• A polar coordinate (
r
=) or parametric graph will appear coarse if the settings you
make in the V-Window cause the T,
θ
pitch value to be too large, relative to the
differential between the T,
θ
min and T,
θ
max settings. If the settings you make cause
the T,
θ
pitch value to be too small relative to the differential between the T,
θ
min and
T,
θ
max settings, on the other hand, the graph will take a very long time to draw.
• The following is the input range for V-Window parameters.
