12.4. Integral
The
Integral
tool is used to calculate the function (the primitive function) whose
derivative is equal to the displayed graph. Such an integral function can be determined
for a constant of integration.
To calculate an integral graph
•
Select
Process/Analyze > Integral
.
•
In the top left drop-down list select the
graph of which you want to calculate
the integral.
•
In the

12.5. Slope
The
Slope
tool is used to determine the slope of the tangent at any point of a displayed
graph.
To determine a slope

•
In the top left drop-down list select the
graph in which you want to determine
a slope.
•
The diagram in the dialog is in scan
mode. The co-ordinates of the scanned
point, indicated by the cross-hairs, are
displayed in the fields below the graph.
