Inserting a Cartesian Graph
The graph pictured is a representation of y = e ^ x.
1 Position the cursor at the location where you want to
insert the graph.
2 Click Insert from the menu bar, mouse over Graph and
select Cartesian.
A cartesian graph with default properties is inserted, and
the Format Graph – Cartesian window opens.
The Functions tab lets you add, edit, and delete items
from the graph. These items include f(x), f(y), Parabola,
Circle, Ellipse, Hyperbola, Point(x, y), Segment,
Polynomial, Parametric, Normal Curve, Picture, Shape,
Pie Chart, Text Box, and Compound.
The Axes tab lets you add change attributes of the
horizontal and vertical axes such as the scale (units per
tick), ticks per inch, and line styles.
The View tab lets you add change the size and
background of the graph, and whether it is centered on a
certain value or anchored at the lower left to a certain
value.
3 Click the Functions tab, select the type of item you want to add from the drop-down menu and click New.
4 To edit existing items, select the description of the item and click Edit (or double-click the description).
5 To delete an item, select the description of the item and click Delete.
6 To change the order of the items on the graph, click the item you want to reorder and drag it to the correct position.
7 Click the Axes tab, enter labels for the horizontal and vertical axes or choose to leave the labels blank. By default, the
labels are x and y. Click Font to set the font characteristics of the labels. The font characteristics used for the axes
labels are also used for the tick labels.
NOTE
Variables cannot be used as values for the axes labels, units per tick, ticks per inch, ticks per
label, width, height, or baseline. Variables can be used to define most of the attributes for the
items added to the graph.
8 Set the scale (units per tick) for the each axis. Units per tick must be greater than zero.
9 Set the ticks per inch for each axis. Values must be between 1 and 50.
10 Set the ticks per label for each axis. Values must be between 1 and 99.
11 Set each axis width. You can hide the axes altogether, or display each axis with a thin or a thick line.
12 Set the axis colors. To change the color of the axes labels or the tick mark labels, click Font.
13 By default, each axis displays tick marks and tick-mark labels. To show or hide these click the Show tick marks and
Label tick marks check boxes.
14 Click Zoom In or Zoom Out to quickly change the units per tick for both axes. Zooming in or out automatically applies
changes to the graph.
15 Click Clear to remove the axes labels, tick marks, tick mark labels, and background. This is useful if you are using the
graph to display a picture or shape.
16 Click the View tab, enter a width, height, and baseline (in inches) for the graph.
