The (...) Beginner's Guide fills that void perfectly, so I am not complaining. I frankly admit I was too lazy to write the 123rd introduction to keystroke programming - thus I pointed to the HP-42S Owner's Handbook in that matter; it does that job very well. I know "copy & paste" being quite popular today but I don't like it unless I can add some extra value which I couldn't at that time. Quote:I think it is absolutely fantastic that the 34s is still evolving. I love the new y-register display concept ... That goes to Bit We had always hoped for some community movement rising with the WP 34S - seems the first shy twigs start growing three years after. Quote:And as I use the alpha-register display extensively (for input prompts, data review, and what-if analysis) I wish I could display the alpha-view exclusively without the x-reg. display. The best I can do is have the bottom x-reg. display three dashes. Can I turn those off as well? Not yet. And the WP 34S project is closed in a way for long. But it's all open source, you know ... Quote:The desire for graphing is easy to explain. Although almost every aspect of graphs can be measured numerically (average, deviation, skew, etc.) there is no substitute for a gestalt view of say a scatter plot or multiple theoretical distribution data overlays. It tells me a lot more than I can gather from numbers alone. Always funny watching which German words make it over the pond. Of course you're right. A picture tells a thousand words (or numbers). Nevertheless, our priority 1 is making a reasonable numeric calculator. It will be open source again. So anybody who wants to add some data graphic to it is invited to write it on his/her own or together with other folks - as usual ... OK? d;-) |
