Sets the graph window to the normal setting. It's like entering this:
-10->Xmin
10->Xmax
1->Xscl
-10->Ymin
10->Ymax
1->Yscl
1->Xres
Press [WINDOW] to see all of these and enter them manually.

Thanks. This is off topic, but how do you get things to work through the link port in programs? |

Rtm, cuz I'm not sure. But I know it involves the commands Get( and Send(. I tried to make multi-player Tron with those, but the calc has to be waiting to get the variable or something. I think there's a topic somewhere on this forum about it. |

I saw a program where you can down load programs at Cirrus site and it involved controlling another calculator with the linkport and I was wondering how that worked. |

Are you sure it wasnt from the computer or a program in Asm? Cuz I don't think Basic is capable of controlling another calc. |

It was assembly. Sorry I forgot about that. |

It's not.

It actually doesn't. It uses GetCalc(, there's no Send( instruction but the sending calculator has to be at the homescreen or executing Pause or (I think) Input/Prompt. There is a program called prgmZENTER somewhere @ ticalc that gets the linked calc out of pause. Since it's asm already, you might want to look into finding a program that gets the whole variable for you.

The Xres is unnecessary since it's calculated using other window variables. It's the X change per pixel. (I think) |

No, Xres is the resolution it uses when graphing, deltaX is the X change per pixel. |

Regardless of what it is, Zstandard still changes it to 1. |

ZStandard can also be used as a ClrDraw if you didn't change your window settings (I used this before I found ClrDraw ) |

I think it only clrdraws it if it changes the window settings. If they are already correct, it does nothing. |

Actually it still ClrDraws because before I had no idea what it did and I tried it and it worked. You can try it if you want. |

It clears the graph screen any time you change the window settings. It's too bad too, because scrolling would be easy in Basic if it never did that. |

I asked something about the screen being cleared everytime you change the window settings a long time ago on the Cirrus board, I think Maarten said you could use ASM to turn that off.
Might be worth it to check that out. |

If that's true, that might be a nice addition to programs like Codex. Hint hint Justin W.... |

about the getcalc:
if the other calc is in wait mode (the pause, promt, or input command in basic or just at the home screen) then you can use getcalc( to recieve a variable from teh other calc. you can get any variable (A-Z,theta), list, string, matrix or graph setting (there may be afew more, but i think i covered them all |

I remember somebody claimed you can also use getcalc( with a while loop, is this true? |
