3D Graphing

378

When you return to FUNCTION graphing mode, your

y(x)

functions are still defined

in the Y= Editor. When you return to 3D graphing mode, your

z(x,y)

equations are

still defined.

Note:

You can use the

Define

command from the Home screen (see the Technical

Reference module) to define functions and equations for any graphing mode, regardless
of the current mode.

Because you can graph only one 3D equation at a time, display styles are not available.
On the Y= Editor, the Style toolbar menu is dimmed.

For 3D equations, however, you can use:

ƒ

– or -

8 Í
to set the Style format to WIRE FRAME or HIDDEN SURFACE.
