Using the Plot Function
You can plot points on the screen, overlay them with a graph of an expression in the form
y
=
f
(
x
), and draw a
regression graph that approximates the plots.
Starting a Picture Plot Operation
The Picture Plot application lets you use a still image (c2p file) or animation (c2b file) that contains a
mathematical meaningful object or scene as a background, and plot points on the background image. Because
of this, a Picture Plot operation always starts with opening of a background file.
Tip:
c2p and c2b are special ClassPad file formats. You can use files that come preloaded on your ClassPad, or you can
obtain files from the CASIO support site (edu.casio.com).
