graphics puzzlement - ji3m - 01-03-2016 01:25 AM
Maybe im dense but i don't quite get the graphical paradigm of the prime.
Is it just a toy for animating a textbook or what.
What is the point of functions like plotfunc() in cas? It puts miniplots in the history. But for what purpose.? Or line () or point (). Cute pictures in the history seem pointless.
Is it even possible to use graphic functions in a program without invoking all those different spps.?
Graphics on the prime seems very convoluted and fractured and very manually oriented.
Am i missing some simple unifying idea about graphics. Previous hp graphics cslculators seem very simple by comparison.

It's worth having a look in the HP Prime Software Library section of the forum for examples of graphics use. For example Han's 3D graphing software will give you an idea of what can be done and how to do it; there are others too.
