2-8 Aplets and their views
Trace a graph You can trace along a function using the *>, or* A, key which
moves the cursor along the graph. The display also shows the
current coordinate position (x, y) of the cursor. Trace mode
and the coordinate display are automatically set when a plot is
drawn.
Note: Tracing might not appear to exactly follow your plot if
the resolution (in Plot Setup view) is set to Faster. This is
because RES: FASTER plots in only every other column,
whereas tracing always uses every column.
In Function and Sequence Aplets: You can also scroll
(move the cursor) left or right beyond the edge of the display
window in trace mode, giving you a view of more of the plot.
