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. |
Displays the graph screen and allows the user to trace the currently-graphed equations and plots.
Trace
While editing a program, press the TRACE key.
TI-83/84/+/SE
1 byte
The Trace command displays the graph screen, and allows the user to trace any graphed equations or plots. It works in almost exactly the same way as pressing TRACE does outside a program. When the user presses ENTER, control returns to the program.
When tracing, ExprOn and ExprOff affect how the currently-traced equation is displayed, and CoordOn and CoordOff affect whether the coordinates of the cursor are displayed (RectGC and PolarGC determine the type of coordinates).
Since the ENTER key is already used for exiting, the Trace command lacks some of the functionality of pressing TRACE outside a program, where you can use ENTER to center the graphing window on the cursor. The independent variables X, T, θ, and n cannot by directly typed in, either - they can only be selected with the arrow buttons.
Advanced Uses
As a side effect, the coordinates of the last point traced are stored to X and Y (as well as R and θ, if you're in PolarGC mode, and T, θ and n depending on the graphing mode). Also, the window bounds may change if the user traces an equation past the edge of the screen.
Error Conditions
- ERR:INVALID is thrown if this command is used outside a program.
