App views
Most apps have three major views: Symbolic, Plot, and Numeric.
These views are based on the symbolic, graphic, and numeric
representations of mathematical objects. They are accessed
through the
Y, P, and M keys near the top left of the
keyboard. Typically these views enable you to define a
mathematical object—such as an expression or an open
sentence—plot it, and see the values generated by it.
Each of these views has an accompanying setup view, a view that
enables you to configure the appearance of the data in the
accompanying major view. These views are called Symbolic
Setup, Plot Setup, and Numeric Setup. They are accessed by
pressing
JY, JP, and JM.
Not all apps have all the six views outlined above. The scope and
complexity of each app determines its particular set of views. For
example, the Spreadsheet app has no Plot view or Plot Setup view,
and the Quadratic Explorer has only a Plot view. What views are
available in each app is outlined in the next six sections.
Note that the DataStreamer app is not covered in this chapter. See
HP StreamSmart 410 User Guide for information about this app.
