Using equations to graph pictures on calculator

[helder7]

A friend of mine started trying to draw pictures on the calculator only with equation types and math functions (ln, log, cos, tan, sin, abs...) available in casio calculators.

It's an interesting challenge. Many of the equations available in web to draw pictures are not compatible with casio calculators.

Below is the list of images made with equations until now (left: prizm; right: fx9860):

This is very interesting and creative excersize.
However, if you remember that cubic splines are functions, you can take any artwork digitized as not too many splines and turn it into parametric polynomial plots.

Here is what I mean. To draw a cubic spline with control points (A,B), (C,D), (E,F), (G,H) set the folowing parametric plots:
"A(1-T)^3+3CT(1-T)^2+3ET^2(1-T)+GT^3"->Xt1
"B(1-T)^3+3DT(1-T)^2+3FT^2(1-T)+HT^3"->Yt1

Also, coefficients can be lists, so you can prefill several of them with control point coordinates and draw many splines using just one command. Unfortunately, i did not figure out how to make them all same color -- when taking coordinates from lists, the graphs system seems to rotate colors.

Another practical matter: you can use spline approximations of special curve to draw them. Like parabolas, ellipses, circular arcs -- which do not have their own casio basic routines.

how did you do the interval thing on the 9860?

[helder7]

First I write the equation:
Exemple: Y1=X

After, at the end of the equation I put a comma () and a parenthesis ( + )

Now I have: Y1=X,[

I can write the first interval value:

Y1=X,[-5

before adding the second value I need to put another comma (), and only then I can write the second value:

Y1=X,[-5,5

to finish, I need to close parenthesis ( + )

Done: Y1=X,[-5,5]

Amazing. Is it in the manual? I somehow missed it.
BTW, this domain specification works all the way back. I just tried it with 7700G and it is there.

Is it in the manual? I somehow missed it.

Maybe yes, but I learned this in class.

Here is example of a program (fxCG) that draws family of splines using equation graph.

Code: Select all

'ProgramMode:RUN
ParamType
"A(1-T)^3+3C(1-T)_^<2>_T+3E(1-T)T_^<2>_+GT^3"->GraphXt1
"B(1-T)^3+3D(1-T)_^<2>_T+3F(1-T)T_^<2>_+HT^3"->GraphYt1
0->TThetamin
1->TThetamax
0.05->TThetaptch
G SelOff
G SelOn 1
ThinG 1
For 0->I To 5 Step 0.5
(-)6->A:(-)3->B:(-)3->C:6-I->D:0+I->E:(-)3->F:6->G:3->H

Instead of assinging functions to graph memory, I tried to use Graph(X,Y)=( function which works great, except I do not know how to specify line styles for it.

Code: Select all

'ProgramMode:RUN
0->TThetamin
1->TThetamax
0.05->TThetaptch
For 0->I To 5 Step 0.5
(-)6->A:(-)3->B:(-)3->C:6-I->D:0+I->E:(-)3->F:6->G:3->H
Graph(X,Y)=(_A(1-T)^3+3C(1-T)_^<2>_T+3E(1-T)T_^<2>_+GT^3,B(1-T)^3+3D(1-T)_^<2>_T+3F(1-T)T_^<2>_+HT^3)
