4. When you’ve moved to the
desired tool, press
¸
to
leave the toolbox. The chosen
tool becomes active in your
sketch and remains active until
you choose another tool.
A sketch offers a view of the Euclidean plane, which is unlimited in size.
Objects that you draw or construct may extend outside the portion of the
plane visible in the sketch’s window. To reposition the sketch’s view of the
plane, hold down
¥
while using the
@
cursor controls. The sketch scrolls
in the appropriate direction. (For example, holding
¥ B
moves the view
of the plane to the right, scrolling objects visible in the view to the left.)
You may reposition the view at any time, regardless of which tool is active
in the toolbox.
1.
¥ƒ
(TI-89:
¥
1
) activates the first tool (the Arrow) without
having to enter and leave the toolbox.
¥„
(TI-89:
¥
2
) activates
the second tool (the Point tool), and so forth. For a tool with a palette
of choices, such as the Straightedge tools, pressing the tool shortcut
(
¥†
or
¥
4
in this case) repeatedly cycles through the tool’s
choices.
2. On the TI-92 Plus/Voyage™ 200 PLT only,
¥Š
shows or hides the
toolbox. (You may want to hide the toolbox to reclaim space for your
sketch.) When the toolbox is hidden, entering the toolbox using
Š
will temporarily show the toolbox. When you leave the toolbox
again, it will be rehidden. (Use
¥Š
to show it again permanently.)
