The Select( 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 Select( is called, if it has any Scatter or xyLine plots to work with, it displays the graph screen and allows the user to pick a left bound and then a right bound on one of the plots (the left and right keys move from point to point, while the up and down keys switch plots). Then, it stores all the points between those bounds to x-list name and y-list name. Finally, it sets the chosen plot to use x-list name and y-list name as its X and Y lists.

Optimization

It isn't necessary to add the ∟ symbol before list names:

:Select(∟X,∟Y)
can be
:Select(X,Y)

Error Conditions

  • ERR:INVALID is thrown if there are no enabled Scatter or xyLine plots for the command to work with.
