The CoordOn Command

We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere.

TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it.

Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope.

When moving a cursor on a screen, it's possible for the calculator to display the coordinates of the current point (either polar or rectangular coordinates, depending on which of RectGC or PolarGC is set). The CoordOn command turns on this option (to disable it, use the CoordOff command).

The coordinates are displayed in practically every situation when you're moving a cursor on the graph screen, even including the Trace, Input or Select( commands in a program. The interactive mode of Text( and the Pen tool are the exceptions — this is because these two situations involve a pixel coordinate, and not a point.
