While a constraint is being entered or changed,
Custom ticks constraints are presented in standard mathematics format. When functions are entered using multiple characters, the characters are presented in red until the GrafEq recognizes them as a function name. Red signifies unrecognized entries, and is used here because GrafEq can interpret “sin” as the sine function instead of the product “s×i×n” only after an argument, such as x, is entered. The function “sqrt” is a good example that demonstrates GrafEq formatting functions as they are recognized.
Standard mathematics format is desirable for inclusion in handouts or documents (by copying from GrafEq and pasting into a word processor). The presentation also gives some visual feedback that constraints are interpreted as intended.
Additional constraint fields can be brought up by pressing the tab key.
