The open-hand cursor

Grabbed ck mark on the axes

If you do end up moving the wrong item,

remember that /Z or /d can be

used to undo the last change. As with a

computer / Y can be used to redo.

Use the Touchpad to move the arrow around the work area, it behaves exactly like a trackpad on a laptop, so

you do not need to press down on the pad just let your nger lightly touch it.

As you move the cursor over the objects in the work area, three things may happen:

• the cursor changes shape

• the underlying object ashes

• labels of the various objects appear, e.g. axes, graph etc.

In some posions two or more screen objects overlap and

you are prompted to press the e key to toggle through the

labels of various overlapping objects. Move the cursor to the

posion shown here.

Make certain that the open-hand (÷) icon is showing over the

highlighted label for f1(x) and grab the label by pressing and

holding x or by pressing /x.

Noce that the ngers of the hand close up ({) indicang that

you have successfully grabbed this label. Use the Touchpad

to drag the closed-hand icon and the funcon label to a

new posion. Click again by pressing x or press d to stop

dragging. Being able to grab and drag items is one of the most

powerful features of the Graphs. However, some skill and

paence is oen needed to grab exactly the right item and,

without care, mistakes can easily be made.

Get some more pracce at grabbing objects as follows. Move

to a ck mark on the x-axis such as the one shown here

represenng x=6. Make certain that you can see the open-

hand icon – if you see an upward poinng index nger (ø) you

are selecng the axis itself, not just the ck mark.

Grab the ck mark and move gently to the le or right

watching the eect. Noce that both the x- and y-axes are

rescaled.

Click again (x) or press d and /d to undo this and

return to the default set of axis.

Now grab the ck mark again and this me hold down the

shi key, g, while you move le or right. This me the

x-axis is scaled but the y-axis is unchanged.
