!This is where you begin to decide$what family (Geom., Trig., etc.) and$type of function (Point, Line, etc.)
you want to investigate."Merely select one of each from the
next two button-bar menus."The first step in solving a puzzle$is to select one from the next menu.#Remember, the challenge is to match#the pieces (functions) in the least!amount of time & number of tries.
Good Luck! Macros contain keyboard commands that can automate simple to very#complex displays and presentations."The entire XYSee 4.0 "Tutorial" is
actually one LONG Macro."You can use this handy file editor$to create, change, and automatically!validate your Macros and Puzzles."You can also view and print a copy of the sample Macros and Puzzles#we've included for your Test Drive.#Watch carefully, the selection ring!is about to shift to the variable
values menu on the RIGHT => =>"From there, you can begin updating"the variables on the formula panel#below that define the current plot.#XYSee's formula modeling capability$is VERY important. With it, you can%match each formula's complexity level#to your own exact individual needs.!For example, as you progress, you$can update formula Y=MX to Y=(MX)+B.$Each function has various statistics#associated with it. For example, a$line has a segment LENGTH and SLOPE.#XYSee attempts to calculate as many
of these for you as possible.#XYSee can copy your current plot to!any EPSON(tm), IBM(tm), or HP(tm)
compatible graphics printer."All of the current variable values#that make up the plot are included.%Use the Cursor to highlight important
points on your plot display. The cursor can be moved with the$arrow keys, or by sliding the mouse."The cursor's resolution (step) can$be adjusted with the "+" & "-" keys.#XYSee can combine two or more plots
on the screen for comparison.#Use the SAVE button first, then the!OVERLAY after updating your plot.!Please press this icon's "F1" key for important scale-factor help. Sometimes pieces can be "hidden"!outside the current limits of the
display. To find these pieces,
just select a new Zoom factor.!Don't forget to go DOWN scale, as
well as UP when searching!#This feature identifies values that#are out-of-tolerance, and causing a#solution attempt to fail. Once you"know which values are correct, you$can "zero-in" on the incorrect ones. Watch for the highlighting => =>#The following Report shows how well$you are doing on solving the puzzle."Because some puzzles are harder to$solve than others, you should always$check the puzzle's difficulty index.#Don't forget to print a dated copy!#If you have to stop for awhile, you%can save the current puzzle's status.#When you're ready to continue, just"select the "XYSAVED" file from the
puzzle activation button-bar.!Note: Old saved puzzles are lost!U
