3
Applies only to 3D graph mode.
4
Applies only to Sequence graph mode.
5
Applies only to Diff Equations graph mode.
6
Applies only to Function graphing mode, when “Graph Order” is set to “Seq.”

stringList
Sets mode
modeNameString
to the new setting
settingString
, and returns the current setting of
that mode.
modeNameString
is a character string that specifies
which mode you want to set. It must be one of
the mode names from the table below.
settingString
is a character string that specifies the
new setting for the mode. It must be one of the
settings listed below for the specific mode you
are setting.
list
contains pairs of keyword strings and will set
them all at once. This is recommended for
multiple-mode changes. The example shown may
not work if each of the pairs is entered with a
separate
setMode() in the order shown.
Use
setMode(
var
) to restore settings saved with
getMode("ALL")!
var
.
Note: To set or return information about the
Unit System mode, use setUnits() or getUnits()
instead of setMode() or getMode().
