Draws the parametric equations expression1 and
expression2 , using
t
as the independent variable.
Defaults for
tmin
,
tmax
, and
tstep
are the current
settings for the Window variables
tmin
,
tmax
,
and
tstep
. Specifying values does not alter the
window settings. If the current graphing mode is
not parametric, these three arguments are
required.
Note : Regraphing erases all drawn items.

varName
Displays a drop-down menu with the name
titleString and containing the items
1:
item1String ,
2:
item2String , and so forth.
DropDown
must be
within a
Dialog...EndDlog
block.
If
varName
already exists and has a value within
the range of items, the referenced item is
displayed as the default selection. Otherwise, the
menu’s first item is the default selection.
When you select an item from the menu, the
corresponding number of the item is stored in the
variable
varName
. (If necessary,
DropDown
creates
varName
.)
See
Dialog
program listing example.
