Window Variables

The Window Editor maintains an independent set of Window variables for each Graph
mode setting (just as the Y= Editor maintains independent function lists). Sequence
graphs use the following Window variables.

Note:

Both

nmin

and

nmax

must be positive integers, although

nmin

can be zero;

nmin

,

nmax

,

plotstrt

and

plotstep

must be integers ‚ 1. If you do not enter integers, they will be

rounded to integers.

Variable

Description

nmin, nmax

Smallest and largest n values to evaluate. Sequences are
evaluated at:
u(nmin)
u(nmin+1)
u(nmin+2)
... not to exceed ...
u(nmax)

plotStrt

The term number that will be the first one plotted
(depending on plotstep). For example, to begin plotting
with the 2nd term in the sequence, set plotstrt = 2. The
first term will be evaluated at nmin but not plotted.

plotStep

Incremental n value for graphing only. This does not affect
how the sequence is evaluated, only which points are
plotted. For example, suppose plotstep = 2. The
sequence is evaluated at each consecutive integer but is
plotted at only every other integer.

xmin, xmax,
ymin, ymax

Boundaries of the viewing window.

xscl, yscl

Distance between tick marks on the x and y axes.
