Differential Equation Graphing

Standard values (set when you select
6:ZoomStd
from the

toolbar menu) are:
You may need to change the standard values for the t variables to ensure that sufficient
points are plotted.
The fldpic System Variable
When a slope or direction field is drawn, a picture of the field is stored automatically to a
system variable named
fldpic
. If you perform an operation that regraphs the plotted
equations but does not affect the field, the TI-89 Titanium reuses the picture in
fldpic
instead of having to redraw the field. This can speed up the regraphing time significantly.
fldpic
is deleted automatically when you exit the differential equation graphing mode or
when you display a graph with
Fields = FLDOFF
.
Exploring a Graph
As in function graphing, you can explore a graph by using the following tools. Any
displayed coordinates are shown in rectangular or polar form as set in the graph format.
t0 = 0.
tmax = 10.
tstep = .1
tplot = 0.
xmin =
L
1.
xmax = 10.
xscl = 1.
ymin =
L
10.
ymax = 10.
yscl = 1.
ncurves = 0.
diftol = .001
Estep = 1.
fldres = 14.
dtime = 0.
